Salman Khan, who is on board in Satish Kaushik’s
Kaagaz as a “presenter” was so bowled over by the film’s theme that he insisted on being featured in the film as a voiceover reciting poetry on how

Says Satish fondly, “We wanted him in our film even if it was just his voice. His fans would love our film much more. We got Salman to do a voiceover in the beginning and at the end. He brackets the drama very nicely.”
This is the first time Salman has lent his voice to any film.

Thousands of farmers from the Punjab, Haryana and Rajasthan have taken to streets and laid siege to Delhi, protesting against the three Bills. Clearly, this has caught the attention of national and international press like never before. But, the farmers of the Punjab have been protesting against the three bills – the Farmer’s Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Bill, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Bill and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Bill – since the summer.
