The bad boy of Indian Cinema Salman
Khan has always been infamous for making news and being in the gossip columns.
Producer Ranjit Sharma is all set to bring to the big screen the days of Salman
Khan that he spent behing bars in the infamous Chinkara case during 1996 to
1998. Salman’s former cell mate, Mahesh Kumar Saini, has teamed up with Ranjit
Sharma to make the film.
The title says it all “Qaidi No.
210”, the film will display the hard time that the actor faced behind bars.
Sources state that Salman and Mahesh struck up a unique friendship during those
3 days spent in Jodhpur Central Jail in 1996.
Sharma said, “I spent quite some
time researching the subject and met many people in Jodhpur Central jail.
That’s where I also met Mahesh Kumar Saini, a murder suspect. I told him to get
in touch with me whenever he was released. He got in touch some months ago and
he has given me details about Salman’s stay in the jail. Chirag Patil, son of
former cricketer Sandeep Patil, will play Salman.”
Mahesh adores
Salman, “All I can say is that Salman is one of the nicest human beings I have
ever met. I know for a fact that he is innocent. I can’t reveal more because he
had told me everything in confidence, but Salman never fired that shot (which
killed the Chinkara). He is going through hell to save someone else. I don’t
think he ever expected this incident to become such a controversial matter and
that even political bigwigs would play dirty. But one day justice will be
done,” said Mahesh.
