Sohali Khan also revealed his plans of returning to the director’s chair. When asked about the lead actor of his upcoming film and whether Salman would be cast in the role, Sohail said, “First choice toh wahi hoti hai ke bhai ke paas jaaye. Woh suitable bhi hona chaiye bhai ke liye. Bhai hai, lekin professional hai. Like or not like (the role) woh unke upar hai (The first choice is to go to your brother. But he should also be suitable for the role. He is my brother, but he is professional too. It depends on him if he likes it).”

The actor-filmmaker added, “When you make a film with Salman Khan, the expectations increase. So you have to even be that sure about your script when you go to him. Let’s see once the script develops.”
