Meanwhile, ‘Salaam Venky’ will also star Aamir Khan in a cameo role. During the film’s trailer launch in Mumbai, Revathy revealed that Khan instantly said yes to the film after hearing the script. The film’s story has been adapted from Shrikanth Murthy’s book, titled ‘The Last Hurrah’.

Speaking at the trailer launch Revathy said, “Aamir said he just wanted to read his scenes. I sent him those scenes. He read the scenes and said, ‘I am doing it’. It was just over the phone. Then we had a film narration. It’s written so well, and so beautifully by Sammeer (Arora) and Kausar Munir). Aamir said, ‘Ek bhi shabd nahi badluga, aise he karuga (I won’t change a single word, I’ll just do the film.)”

Revathy also said that she read the book in 2007 and worked on the two-three adaptions on the script. “But things didn’t work out, people perhaps didn’t believe in telling a story like this. By 2011, I gave up. But in 2017, the film came back to me thanks to producer Suuraj Sinngh! I said, ‘Oh no, not this book again!’ because a lifetime had passed working on it. But 2018 onwards, things started falling in place”.

While Aamir Khan’s cameo in ‘Salmaan Venky’ will be an interesting one to watch, the film’s co-writer, Sammeer Arora revealed that his character has not been mentioned in the book. ‘Salaam Venky’ will hit the theatres on December 9.
