Salman to fight a lion in Veer

Bollywood’s macho man Salman Khan is all set to wrestle with a real lion for the first time in his upcoming flick “Veer”. After a long time Salman will be seen as an action hero in this film.

Salman is not worried
But fighting with a real lion is not a joke. According to a source, Salman is not at all worried about the sequence.

“Salman is a Veer in true sense. Besides, the lion which will be utilized for the shoot will be trained.”

It seems that Salman is following his favourite actor Dharmendra’s popular trend. Dharmendra had a similar fighting sequence with tiger in the movies, “Maa” (1976) and “Kartavya” (1979).

In the fighting scene, Salman not only fights with lion but also saves the pretty Liza Lazarus who is attacked by the animal. The scene ultimately gives a new twist to the story.

Galani’s take on the scene
Producer Vijay Galani said, “The scene is a rescue act. Liza Lazarus (Miss UK Universe 2008) is on a hunting spree in the jungle. Suddenly, a lion attacks her. Salman Khan spots her in trouble and fights the lion to save her.”

The location of the sequence is yet to be decided, but Galani confirms that it will not be shot in India.

“We have not decided on the foreign location, but it will surely not be shot in India. We don't have very good facilities to shoot such scenes here,” he said.

The cast
Sallu plays a 19th century warrier in the film, while Liza Lazarus plays a British beauty.

Apart from Salman, the film also stars Mithun Chakraborty, Sohail Khan, Jackie Shroff, Aryan Vaid and Neena Gupta.

“Veer” is being directed by Anil Sharma.
