And that is because Salman had entrusted Anil Sharma to direct it and it is said that the Big B is unhappy with the director who directed him in Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyo .
When asked about it Sharma expressed his total disappointment and wondered if Bachchan had declined the offer.
Sharma said, "I haven't spoken to Amitabh Bachchan as yet about the film! I don't understand how the media encourages these silly rumors to grow! Also even if Bachchan sahib had rejected my film he would never doubt my ability as a filmmaker. He is too dignified a human being to do such a thing!"
When further asked about the actor other than Salman in 'Veer', Sharma presumably in frustration, added, "Today, actors have more brains than I, so let them decide if they want to work with me or not."
This was indeed in reference to what he earlier called a rumor about his rapport with the Big B.
