Salman bhai was there while the narration was going on. He was happy with the script and was keen to do a role in the film. But this film doesn’t allow him to fit him into a character because of his larger than life image. And <i>Freaky Ali</i> might have got disturbed by Salman bhai‘s grand image.&nbsp;

Nawaz plays the protagonist in the film, which is being presented by his Bajrangi Bhaijaan co-star Salman Khan.

“Freaky Ali is not a heavy film. It’s a simple but inspiring film. It will inspire those who want to go from zero to 100. People who have made an effort to achieve success from nothing will be able to connect to the character,” Nawaz added.

Directed by Sohail Khan, the sports drama is set to release on September 9. Freaky Ali also stars Arbaaz Khan and Amy Jackson in lead roles.
