Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has till now ruled over the hearts of the audience with his romantic, action-packed or comic roles, but this time the actor will be seen doing something hatke. Going by the report, Salman Khan will render the role of father of a 13-year old girl in Remo D'Souza's next movie. The narrative is an emotional journey of an ageing dancer and his lively 13-year old daughter.

Salman confirmed this piece of news update in his recent interview by saying “I played a father in Jab Pyar Kisi Se Hota Hai when I was in my 30s. I’ve been there and done that. And in my next film, I’m playing the father to a 13-year-old girl. It’s a film about dancing. Like the Hollywood Step Up franchise. I’m going to be a properly trained dancer. You know how painful that is? Sultan was also painful. I had to lose 18 kilos of muscle. I’m not into diets. I eat ghar ka khana. And I don’t eat for taste. As soon as I’ve got my proteins and carbs, I leave the table. So, to lose 18 kilos of muscle was the most difficult thing on the earth. But I’ve always believed that effortless hard work should be seen onscreen. And that’s what I’ve been doing from Wanted to Sultan. I don’t see myself doing character roles. So what if I’m 51? Stallone is still Rocky and Rambo at 70. Filmmaking is the most beautiful industry. We sell dreams. Why shouldn’t I live mine?"

Apart from this, Salman Khan will next be seen in Kabir Khan’s upcoming directorial Tubelight.
