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  voieceover reciting  poetry on how  kaagaz(paper) governs our lives.

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.”
