Thank God," Salman was quoted saying.
Doubts

Soon after Salman's surprising revelation, there were speculations if the superstar is planning to try his hands on direction anytime soon. However, he admitted to being skeptical about the plan. Salman did reveal that he has been actively involved in scripting of some of his movies. "Because as soon as you feel that you know the formula, it just comes out," he added.
Launch
Salman is launching veteran actress Nutan's granddaughter Pranutan in 'Notebook'
Meanwhile, Salman is all set to launch Zaheer Iqbal and Pranutan Bahl in his production Notebook. Notably, Pranutan is yesteryear actress Nutan's granddaughter. The superstar is all praises for the movie and revealed that Notebook was first offered to him. "I got this film long back and as the lead role, but since my image is changed, I couldn't do it," he asserted.
Release
