Salman Khan has agreed to do a film with Vijay Galani to make up for Veer ghaata

A source reveals, "Veer was a very difficult project to make. Throughout the making, Salman and the director Anil Sharma kept having differences. It was Galani who would intervene and try to find a common ground. His motive was to wrap the film as soon as possible and not go way over budget. However, it opened well in single screens but didn't do well in the big towns and multiplexes."

During the publicity of the film, Sallu admitted that if Veer fails then he would take the responsibility. Now he's backed his words with action. "Galani is planning another film with Salman. Not only has he reduced his fee but also plans to cooperate and make sure the project doesn't get delayed. Salman has realised that his fans hold him responsible no matter which banner or producer he works with. Even after the debacle of Main Aurr Mrs Khanna he came out and agreed it wasn't a film he wanted to make."

Even though the project is under wraps, an announcement will be made soon. "It's not a period film, but a very contemporary love story. Salman has already given his verbal commitment to the producer."

When asked if he's doing another film Galani says, "At the moment, there are no plans. In the future, we might work on something". Talking about the response to Veer he adds, "The film has been profitable to all my distributors. It has done incredibly well in single screen theatres, not so much in multiplexes."
