Salman Khan’s Veer is a copy of Hollywood hit Taras Bulba (1962) starring Yul Brynner and Tony Curtis which is originally based on a short story by Nikolai Gogol. Though producer Vijay Galani says that Sallu has written the script of the film, director Anil Sharma says that other writers were involved in the project.

Says an industry insider, “Adapting the story to a Bollywood context is Salman’s only contribution to the script. The screenplay has been jointly penned by Shaktimaan and Anil Sharma.”





Shaktimaan who has previously worked with Anil Sharma in Gadar - A Love Story has written the dialogues of Veer. Anil Sharma says, “The story idea is Salman’s but several writers contributed to the script including Shaktiman.”

When asked if the film is inspired by J Lee Thompson’s Taras Bulba, Sharma maintained that the story idea was Salman’s. It is left to us to see whether Salman shares his father’s genes but as far as his earlier efforts at writing go, they haven’t garnered great reviews. His film for Somy Ali, which was to be directed by him was inspired by Hollywood film Blind Fury while his film Chandramukhi co-starring Sridevi was a copy of Tom Hank’s Big.

Taras Bulba, often termed as the Romeo Juliet story of the 16th century, is the story of the Cossacks of Eastern Europe who join the Poles to drive out the Turks from the Steps of Europe. In return for their help, the Poles agree to give control of the Steps to the Cossacks. After the battle however, the Poles do not keep their word and force the Cossacks into the hills. Taras Bulba, a Cossack Colonel, raises his son Andrei Bulba to learn the ways of the Poles so he can defeat them in battle. During his learning process, Andrei falls in love with the daughter of a Polish nobleman and he has to choose between the love for his community and the love of a woman while Taras Bulba has to choose between his son and the Cossacks.
