Unwilling to mull over the debacle of Zero, Shah Rukh Khan has decided to dive headlong into the shoot of his next, Salute. Former Indian Air Force pilot Rakesh Sharma's biopic was to kick off in May this year, however, Siddharth Roy Kapur's offering will now roll in Mumbai's Film City, in February.

Even as trade insiders suggest Khan's decision to advance filming stems from his desire to shift attention away from the failure of his last offering, sources close to the production argue that the decision was taken after a discussion with producer Kapur.
