Relationships are so brittle in this industry that they can break just about anytime. One remembers the day when the first look of Vijay Galani’s Veer was unveiled for the media and the trade, weeks before the Salman Khan starrer hit the screens. At the function, Salman had revealed to the media how producer Vijay Galani had approached him to act in a film for him, stating that he (Salman) was his (Vijay’s) mother’s favourite actor. Salman added that Vijay had played the mother card to get him to do the film at a concessional price. In a lighter vein, Salman had countered Galani by telling him that even he (Vijay) was his (Salman’s) mother’s favourite. Of course, all seemed well at that time, which is why Salman must have agreed to act in the film, and Vijay must’ve agreed to let Salman select the script. The actor ultimately wrote the script of Veer himself. Two years after the film released and flopped, the camaraderie between the star and his producer has disappeared, giving way to enmity. Salman has taken Galani to the Association for dues which the producer failed to pay. The FWICE has banned Galani who says, he owes nothing to his hero. Interestingly, Salman has also acted in an earlier film produced by Galani, viz. Suryavanshi.
