Films based on real life incidents is not new in Bollywood but a film on actor Salman Khan’s jail life will be different altogether. The latest news is that Ranjit Sharma is making a film titled Qaidi No 210, based on Salman’s stay in the jail in connection to the infamous chinkara case.
Mahesh Kumar Saini, who spent three days with Salman in Jodhpur Central Jail in 1996, has provided enough information to Ranjit about the actor. Ranjit said that he met Mahesh, a murder suspect, while researching on the subject and asked him to contact him once he is released from the jail.
Mahesh is all praise for Salman, saying that he was the nicest man he has ever met and was sure that he was innocent as far as chinkara case is concerned. He is not willing to reveal whatever Salman said but he is sure that the actor did not fire that shot. He claimed that Salman was addicted to coffee and needed a cup of it every hour, and ate nothing in the cell but the chocolates his brother Sohail had given him.
Recounting the days he spent with Salman, he said that the actor ate soyabean he prepared on the second night. They managed to bring dumb bells into the cell for work out though it’s not allowed. Mahesh revealed that he arranged a carrom board and a chess board for him, as he was bored. He added that the actor offered to give him Rs.20, 000 as a token of his appreciation but he had asked him to find him a job instead once he is released.
Looks like this one for sure is gonna be the most interesting movie ever.
