REVEALED! Here’s why Salman Khan opted out of ‘Battle Of Saragarhi’

There has been much anticipation around the film Salman Khan announced in collaboration with Karan Johar and Akshay Kumar. The film was based on the ‘Battle Of Saragarhi’, while Karan and Salman were to co-produce the film, Akshay was to play the main lead.

However, rumour mills are abuzz with the news of Salman opting out of the project. It is a known fact that Ajay Devgn was planning to make a film based on ‘Battle Of Saragarhi’, but the film is yet to go on floors. Salman was not aware of this until he made an announcement of his collaboration with Karan and Akshay.

Ajay and Salman are good friends, and since Salman had no clue about Ajay’s plans to make a film on the similar subject, he gave a go ahead to the film. However, he soon opted out as he came to know of the fact. A source close to DNA revealed, “Karan and Ajay have been at loggerheads for a while. And while Karan knew that Ajay was making this film, he went ahead and announced his.. to be co-produced by Salman and starring Akshay Kumar. But now with Salman not being part of this project, it will be interesting to see if KJo will still go ahead with this film.”
