There are buzz in the Indian Film Industry that Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is originally directed by Salman Khan and the credit is being given to Farhad Samji, but till date all of us were in the impression that the biggest Superstar of the continent Salman Khan starrer is directed by no one else but Fahad Samji.

Bollywood Reporter/www.bollywoodreporters.com tried to cross check the facts about the buzz.

The facts that we came across wasn’t unbelievable. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has been helmed by Fahad Samji but…as we know that there are few actors who take the final decisions about how to shoot a particular scene, it is said about Aamir Khan that he instructs his directors for the movies of his home productions, apart Aamir there are many actors who give their opinions to their directors. Some have suggestions for their directors about how to shoot a particular shot.
Actually Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is Helmed by Farhad Samji, the movie is a Salman khan King of Bollywood starrer with Venkatesh Daggubati, Jagapathi Babu and Pooja Hegde. Its screenplay is done by Sajid Nadiadwala.
The buzz that we are talking about the original director of the film, to the best of our knowledge KKBKKJ is directed by Fahad Samji and the buzz claiming Salman has directed the movie is just because of Salman Khan’s involvement in KKBKKJ has been quite extra in comparison of an actor’s contribution. A source revealed that Salman is “re-editing the film” and every shot in the film has been approved by Salman as he now works to take down the duration of the film.
The source further reveals,
“Not one shot in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has gone without Salman’s approval. He is now re-diting the film to make the narration tighter and to bring down the film’s playing time,” The prestigious newspaper Times Of India has also quoted Salman’s friend as saying
“It won’t be wrong to say that Salman has virtually directed the entire film. Those close to him have advised him to take credit as co-director. To be honest, that is the least Salman can do considering his contribution,” unveiled the source.

Now we come to the conclusion that Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has been Helmed by Fahad Samji, undoubtedly but Salman Khan’s contribution is more into the film in comparison to what he usually contributes.
