In 3 Idiots (2009), Aamir Khan did a commentary on the Indian education system. Now, Salman Khan too is set to highlight its loopholes by acting in and producing actor-filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar’s Hindi remake of his Marathi hit, Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho (2010).
Manjrekar confirms, “Yes, Salman is very keen to produce the film. And I am going to make the Hindi remake in due time. Let him get free from his other assignments, then we will sit together and work out details.”
Apparently, Salman loved the film’s idea and immediately jumped at the offer of being a part of the Hindi version.
Last year, rumours suggested that Manjrekar was finding it extremely difficult to pin Salman down to watch the Marathi original. In fact, the Astitva (2000) director had arranged for a special screening of the film only for him, but the star failed to turn up at the last minute. Soon enough, it led to talks that the film was shelved.
But Manjrekar claims that now, Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho will be made under Salman’s Being Human banner. And the proceeds of the movie will entirely go towards the actor’s charity foundation. Although the deal is yet to be confirmed, Salman is likely to play father to two kids in the film.
