Wanted Sajid to turn director 10 years ago: Salman Khan

“No that’s not true. Shirish left the film. He is working on some thing else,” Salman posted on his Twitter page.

“Kick” will mark Sajid’s debut as a filmmaker. Salman and Sajid have been close friends for long and have worked together in films like “Jeet”,”Judwaa”,”Har Dil Jo Pyar Karega” and “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.”

On Sajid helming the film,Salman had said “Sajid’s narrations are better than those of most directors,and I’ve been pushing him to make the switch for years.

“In fact,I wanted him to turn director 10 years ago when he came to me with a film called ‘Kunwara’. Today,I’m still kunwara (bachelor) but he’s finally turned director!”
