Wanted, Bodyguard, Ready and more recently Jai Ho, Salman Khan has had enough of South Indian remakes. So when Ramesh Taurani met him to discuss an upcoming project to be directed by Prabhu Dheva, he made it clear to the producer that he wanted some original ideas. 

A source close to Taurani told Mirror, “Salman strongly feels that Southern remakes have run their course. Since he shares a good rapport with Taurani, he candidly told him that he would definitely do the film. But he also added that he wants Prabhu Dehva and Taurani to come up with fresh content.” 

Now that Salman has made his demand, loud and clear, the filmmakers need to quickly zero on a script, which will get his nod. Added the source, “It’s not going to be easy but it will be done.”
