A
puppy
dog
that
Salman
Khan
had
acquired
last
month
has
now
been
named
Veer,
after
his
new
release
and
the
character
he
plays
in
it.
The
little
pup"s
'naam-karan" happened
on
Monday
evening,
when
pleased
with
the
collections
of
Veer
(it"s
doing
well
in
the
single
theatres)
Salman
impulsively
turned
to
his
family
and
pointed
to
the
nameless
pup
saying,
“Let"s
call
him
Veer."
Says
a
source
close
to
Salman,
“Making
Veer
was
not
easy
for
Salman.
Throughout
the
film
he
had
altercations
with
the
director
Anil
Sharma
who
finally
filmed
only
a
portion
of
the
story
that
Salman
wrote.
There
were
heated
abusive
arguments
between
the
star
and
director
almost
till
the
end
of
shooting."
Until
the
pup,
a
Mastiff
arrived.
Continues
the
source,
“Suddenly
after
the
puppy
arrived
things
began
to
improve
between
Salman
and
Anil
Sharma.
The
atmosphere
on
location
became
cordial
and
the
last
lap
of
the
film
was
completed
in
peace.
From
then
onwards
Salman
considered
the
new
dog
in
his
life
lucky."
The
dog
kept
ill
health
from
the
time
it
arrived
at
the
Khans"
residence.
When
its
health
miraculously
improved
after
the
release
of
Veer
Salman
decided
that
the
film
and
his
pet
dog
were
lucky
for
one
another.
With
reports
of
the
film"s
success
coming
in
on
Monday
Salman
has
taken
the
puppy"s
lucky
tag
to
a
new
level.
Says
the
source,
“Salman
attributes
the
success
of
Veer
to
his
new
dog.
'This
is
Veer
who
made
Veer
a
success,'"
he
proudly
says
to
guests."
