Salman Khan wants a repeat with Vijayendra Prasad, the 72-year-old Telugu film writer whose two stories became the greatest hits of the year - Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Bahubali.
DNA reports that Salman Khan invited Vijayendra Prasad to Mumbai for a story session and liked what he heard. Vijayendra Prasad told DNA that the movie would be on the lines of Bajrangi Bhaijaan and celebrate humanism but not have an Indo-Pak theme.
It is no secret that Salman Khan considers Bajrangi Bhaijaan as a milestone in his career, a movie which cast him in an entirely different mould, giving him a break from his Dabang Image.
After the movie was released he had called Vijayendra Prasad and told him that he was the real hero of the film.
Incidentally, it was Aamir Khan not Salman who was the first choice of Bajrangi Bhaijaan film makers. The role went to Salman Khan after as many as four top actors had rejected it in different languages.
