Actor Salman Khan's Prem
kahaani may remain unfinished for a while, after being revived in last year's
Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. According to reports, Salman wants to take different route now from the loverboy roles that made him famous in a series of Sooraj Barjatya roles. In fact, he reportedly wants to play the exact opposite of Prem - the villain in
Dhoom: 4 and
Race 3.
A report in
DNA quotes a source as saying, "Salman wants to play a cool, stylish villain. He has never played one before. His negative role in
Race 3 is almost finalised, but discussions are still on with Aditya Chopra for
Dhoom: 4."
The
Dhoom franchise has historically cast 'heroes' as villains - former baddies include John Abraham, Hrithik Roshan and Aamir Khan as the antagonist. According to DNA's source, Salman has demanded the same profit-sharing ratio that was given to Aamir in
Dhoom: 3.
"The issue is a financial one where Salman wants a stake in
D:4, just like Aamir had in
Dhoom:3. Salman wants the same profit-sharing ratio that was offered to the
D:3 star. Once that is finalised, he's on," the source tells DNA.
Dhoom producers Yash Raj Films have reportedly not decided on the director yet.
Salman Khan's next film
Sultan stars the actor as a Haryanvi wrestler and opens in July. He also has sequels to his films
Dabangg and
Kick in the pipeline. As far as Prem is concerned, picture
abhi baaki hai.
