Contrary to reports that the Maldives controversy has delayed the schedule of Salman Khan`s Bull, we hear that the makers are fine-tuning the screenplay before they call for ‘action!’

Salman Khan, Vishnu Vardhan and Karan Johar
Earlier this month, mid-day reported that Salman Khan is set to begin prep for his next film, which was slated to go on floors in February (Salman trains like a jawan for Bull, January 1). Now, we hear that director Vishnu Vardhan will start filming the Karan Johar production this summer. Contrary to reports that the Maldives controversy has delayed the schedule, we hear that the makers are fine-tuning the screenplay before they call for ‘action!’ “The Maldives issue has nothing to do with the film’s schedule. Karan, Vishnu and Salman felt that the writing needed a little tweaking in keeping with the treatment they have in mind for the retelling of the real story. At the same time, the sets for the first schedule are being planned and work on the construction will begin soon,” said our source. The re-writing is expected to be completed by the time the sets are ready. Also, by then, Salman and Vishnu will not only get time to complete prior commitments, but the actor will also have extensively trained to portray Brigadier Farukh Bulsara aka Bull, who led the Indian Forces’ Operation Cactus to thwart a coup in the Maldives in 1988.
