00:00 Back in 2012, there was a talk of a jungle adventure film called Sher Khan starring Salman
00:07 Khan and Kapil Sharma.
00:09 It was meant to be a big action movie with lots of special effects featuring Salman as
00:14 a brave hero.
00:16 However, due to issues with the special effects, the project was put on hold indefinitely.
00:22 Sohail Khan, who had previously directed Salman Khan in several films, was supposed to produce
00:28 and direct it.
00:29 Now, it seems Sohail is thinking about bringing the project back to life.
00:34 In a recent chat with a leading news agency, Sohail mentioned that he would start working
00:39 again on his film Sher Khan and the film might go on floors in 2025.
00:45 Talking about why he had to put the film on hold, Sohail told The Portal, "That's VFX
00:52 one area where technology is growing by bounds.
00:55 Every time we would finish the scripting of Sher Khan, I would watch another Marvel film
01:01 and that used to make me feel backdated in terms of what I've written and how I want
01:06 the action to be.
01:07 I knew that by the time the film comes out, it would look backdated."
01:12 The actor further opened up about taking a break from both acting and direction.
01:18 He said, "It was my intent.
01:21 I wasn't really getting happy with the work I was getting as an actor.
01:25 There were stories that I wanted to tell and I wanted there to get the appropriate technicians
01:31 or actors to cast."
01:32 Sohail added, "I put so much thought into something and I wanted the most apt people
01:38 to come together.
01:39 Unfortunately, things didn't gel well.
01:42 Fortunately, however, God has been kind to me in terms of finances.
01:47 Hence there wasn't any desperation to just do any kind of work.
01:52 I just waited it out."
