Salman Khan who is facing a low in his personal life, has hit a high note in his career starring in the costliest Hindi song ever to be picturised.
Salman Khan's costly song is for his new movie Veer shot apparently for a cost of about $3.5 crores. This has brought a cheer in his life, which has been marred by controversies like a spat with Shahrukh Khan, rumored split with girl friend Katrina Kaif etc.
Salman Khan was actively involved in the conception and execution of the song. He is in fact the movie’s scriptwriter along with lead actor.'Veer' stars a newcomer actress whose name has been kept a secret by the makers of the film. The flick also stars the very talented Mithun, along with actor Sohail Khan.
According to a source, “Salman, Sohail, Mithun and the new actress chipped in for shooting an 11 day long schedule for this particular song in a Mumbai studio earlier this month. The song has around 600 junior artists dancing along with the main stars.”
Salman Khan was so involved that he was present at its shooting for all 11 days in which the song was picturized. He was pretty excited about the song and wanted it to be the highlight of the movie.
The song from 'Veer' has set the record to be the costliest ever, leaving behind the previous record holder, ‘Shehenshah’ from Ashutosh Gowariker’s ‘Jodhaa Akbar’, which was shot with a budget crossing Rs 3 crore.
