Kona Venkat to pen Salman’s next

Kona Venkat, the name that needs no introduction to Telugu audience, all set for another bollywood script and it will have none other than the “Tiger” Salman Khan starring in it. After Bajrangi Bhaijaan Salman Khan is working with another Telugu writer. Telugu writer Vijayendra Prasad, father of ‘Bahubalian’ director Raja Mauli, provided script for Bajarangi earlier.

Salman’s “Tiger Zinda Hai” is releasing today and he recently revealed about his future projects. “Sher Khan”, a subject penned by Kona Venkat is also there in his future projects as revealed by him. Actually Salman bought the script long back from Kona Venkat. Sohail Khan, brother of Salman, will direct this film. This is not first time Salman working on Kona Venkat’s scripts. Salman’s “Ready” and “No Entry-2” were also penned by this Telugu writer.

Kona Venkat was in top form in TFI when he was delivering stupendous hits like Dhee, Ready, Dookudu with Srinu Vaitla. But later he developed rift with the director. Kona’s scripts too started failing one after another like Shankarabharanam, Bruce lee etc and TFI got an impression that he lost his Maidas touch. Though he has been penning scripts now in Telugu, he didn’t get another Dookudu range hit in recent times. We have to wait and see if this Telugu writer also brings luck to Salman like Vijayendra prasad and re-establish Salman as “Sher Khan” among other Khans of bollywood.
