Satish Kaushik reveals how Salman Khan comes on board for Pankaj Tripathi’s Kaagaz

Kaagaz starring Pankaj Tripathi has Salman Khan stepping in as a presenter as well as the producer on the film. But how was the question. Well the answer was given by the director of the film, Satish Kaushik. It is a story which began on the sets of Bharat in Malta that was released back in 2018, where Satish Kaushik also played a comic part on the ship. It was then, the filmmaker narrated the story of Kaagaz to the actor. Bhaijaan found the story to be impressive and prompted to be attached to the film.

Satish revealed “I was anyways working on the film and everything was ready. When I connected with Salman in Malta, I told him about the core concept of Kaagaz. When he said that he found it quite interesting, I just asked him if he could present the film. He heard the narration and immediately came in board.” He had a dream to make Kaagaz for 18 years ever since he heard the story first.

The Tere Naam director was also happy to reunite with the superstar. He said, “After Tere Naam, I am glad to be associating with Salman Khan on something different like this. Tere Naam was such an emotional love story and now Kaagaz is also not something which is run of the mill. When you would watch the film, you will realise that it has a lot of heart.”

The film will be streaming on ZEE5 from 7th Jan and will also be released in select theatres in UP.
