Sohail does not need Salman

Sohail Khan
Looks like the Khan Brothers Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan don’t need elder brother Salman Khan anymore. For his latest home production ‘Kissan’, Sohail Khan didn’t cast Salman Khan even for the role of special appearance. When asked the reason behind doing so, Sohail Khan said he didn’t want to corrupt the film by using too many super stars in the film. Salman Khan, who is well known in the industry for not only being a good actor but also being a good brother too, is left all alone by his siblings today.

Sohail Khan said that he did not cast Salman Khan in the film, as it was not required by script and as he has something nice to put across to the audience he didn’t want to corrupt the film buy casting his big brother Salman Khan in it. Salman Khan has always been a part of Sohail Khan’s home production. Be it films like Hello Brother, Heroes or Hello, Salman Khan has done his bit of being available for his brothers and promoting their movies. Then why is it that the Khan Brothers don’t need him this time. Is it the fear of Salman Khan snatching away their part of attention from the audience or is it something else?
