Johar to rework the financial structure
This financial disagreement has caused a significant delay in the film's shooting schedule. The source revealed that Johar finds it financially unviable to proceed with the film due to Khan's demands. The filmmaker has now requested more time from Khan to rework the financial structure. The source added, "Salman loves the script, but getting Salman Khan on board requires shit loads of money. Once the things are on paper, Karan will make an official announcement of The Bull."
