Salman Khan Paints With His Fingers

January 8th, 2010 6 comments

Salman Khan has his fingers in too many pies. He’s an actor, a painter and now he’s even penned a story for Veer. Interestingly, it was on the sets of this film that a hidden skill of Salman the painter came to the fore – his knack for painting with his fingers.

We hear that in between the shots on the sets of the movie, Salman would get his fingers smudged with paints and create exotic, spiritual faces on canvases.

Producer Vijay Galani was particularly struck with Salman’s nifty finger work. Not just the canvases, Salman also helped the film’s art director in painting the sets.

And now that the film is set to release on January 22, we hear that Galani is thinking of putting up for auction the canvases Salman painted on the sets. The idea is still tentative, but there’s a strong chance that the paintings will go under the hammer.
