Salman Khan's brother, who is producing the star's latest film Dabangg, claimed that he took on the role after talking to the picture’s director Abhinav Singh Kashyap.
"Honestly, before I turned producer, I had no inkling. I was thinking of getting into production when I met Abhinav, the director of the film. He narrated the basic idea to me; I kind of got excited and my idea of turning into a producer re-emerged in my mind," Khan told IANS.
"I had no clue how I will execute the project, but I kind of almost committed to him then. I got my brothers involved; they heard what I was planning and Salman liked what we brought to him. That came to action and my production company was formed."
The former actor also said that he may try his hand at writing and directing one day.
"I think something is on the cards; I am not too sure whether I will write or direct my next production, but I do have some inclination towards that," he explained. "May be some time in the future I wouldn’t discount the fact that I might probably direct some of my future films."
Dabangg will be released in India on September 10.
