Salman Khan was all set to play the father of a nine-year-old girl in Remo D’Souza’s upcoming movie, tentatively titled ‘Dancing Dad’. However, the project seems to have hit a roadblock. Salman has unceremoniously opted out of the project as he feels his role is more suitable for a younger actor.

“Salman was not happy with the idea of playing a dad, who must learn dancing to please his young daughter. He feels that the role doesn’t suit his age. Salman has already burnt his fingers with trying to play a character much younger than his actual age in Tubelight. Every effort was made to convince Salman. But he remained unsure of looking credible as a dancing dad. He felt the role was more suited to Varun Dhawan, or one of the other younger heroes,” revealed a source close to the development.

Well, we wonder who would step into his shoes now. Do you think Varun Dhawan is a better choice for the movie?
