Exclusive: Salman wants Tiger Zinda Hai's Ali Abbas Zafar to direct Aayush?

It’s final. Salman’s youngest brother-in-law, his sister Arpita’s husband Aayush Sharma will be launched by Salman and his brothers. There were always talks of Salman launching Aayush, but the long-pending decision got an impetus when Salman passed over the reins of his career-related work to his brother Sohail Khan. Preparations are on in full swing for Aayush’s star launch.

Adds the source, “Aayush is being trained to be an all-rounder — stunts, histrionics, the works. Aayush will be launched in a big-budget action-romance by Salman Khan Productions. The director hasn’t been locked in for the debut yet. Although we’ve heard that Ali Abbas Zafar (who directed Sultan and is currently directing Salman in Tiger Zinda Hai) is being roped in to direct Aayush’s launch.” Interestingly, Aayush assisted Ali Zafar during the making of Sultan.
