After Dabangg’s superhit success actor Salman Khan seems to be on a roll. He is said to play one of the realistic characters till date in Kabir Khan's much talked-about film,that will go on the floors towards the end of the year. Salman will play the role of an undercover agent for India's external intelligence agency, Research and Analysis Wing (RAW).
The role of a secret agent will be quite different from the usual loud and flashy roles Salman has been doing of late
To get into the mind of a RAW agent would require a level of intellectual preparation that Salman, who believes in spontaneity, has never undertaken in his life.
Says a source, "Salman has always been a very spontaneous actor. Woh dil se kaam karta hai. But when he heard the script for Kabir Khan's film, Salman was very thrilled and decided to take up the project immediately.
It was Aditya Chopra, who went to Salman with the offer. Salman has agreed to prepare himself to the fullest for this role.
Says a source, "It's far more complicated. Salman has to be a covert not an overt agent. RAW agents are taught to blend with the mainstream, to not stand out in a crowd, to be as nondescript as possible.
And yet, when the need arises, they need to be panther-like in their intellectual and physical agility. Salman has lately been doing extremely flamboyant parts. This one requires him to go the other way."
When asked if Salman plays a RAW agent in his film Kabir Khan replied, "You know I will not comment on that .Whatever I will direct next will have to be in the realistic space. My roots are in documentary filmmaking. And even if I make feature films, I can't stray too far away from my origins."
