Salman Khan has his critics, but few in good conscience can deny his appeal to millions of Indians and box office prowess. He is one of the few Bollywood stars whose very presence in a movie is enough to start a buzz about it at least. If he is in a starring role, it is all but certain that that film is going to be a blockbuster. And in these uncertain times when masala films do not necessarily work, Sallu can make it work by just showing up.
The Bhai of Bollywood, as he is known by his army of fans, has a public persona of a macho man with a good heart, and pretty much every character he has played for more than a decade has resembled that persona.
And it has worked wonders for him. In the list of top 20 highest-grossing Hindi films ever, he has an impressive six films. His character Chulbul Pandey, a cop who is basically a superhero, has been firmly established in the zeitgeist of the 21st century as one of modern cinema’s most popular characters.
Are you a Salman Khan fan? Do you wish to be informed about everything that is happening with the superstar, be it new projects, latest news, gossip and other updates? Then you are at the right place.
Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar has said that if ever a biopic is made on him, he wants Salman Khan to play the lead role. "If ever my biopic is made, I want Salman Khan to play the lead in it," Akhtar was quoted as saying by Pakistan journalist Saj Sadiq on his Twitter handle.
Fans are waiting for further updates on Salman Khan's film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. However, the film is yet to be completed. Sources revealed to Deccan Chronicle, "Some more sequences have to be shot for the film that can be done in India, but the locations will need to match. The two songs need some very good locations; Thailand and Azerbaijan were on top of Bhai’s mind for the locations, but they didn’t happen. The Radhe team shot some portions in Mumbai, but it does seem that Salman needs those shoots abroad to ensure that the film is complete in all respects. Only after the shoot is over will the film go in for post-production, which will be a time-consuming process. The dubbing, VFX and other post-production work is also to be done, which will take a good 60 days at good speed from start to finish, including the censor of the film."
Salman Khan is known to throw the best birthday parties. One of the most memorable moment for his fans was when Sushmita Sen arrived at one of his birthday parties and the two danced together.
