New Delhi. Who does not know Bollywood’s Bhaijaan superstar Salman Khan. Brother’s films today earn only crores in his name, but there was a time when even after Salman’s first film was a hit, he did not get any work for three years. There was a time when Bhaijaan also had to struggle. Salman Khan once told in an interview that his first earning was only Rs 75. In the recently held IIFA Awards 2022, Bhaijaan got emotional remembering the old days of his struggle.
Who is behind Salman?
Actually, Riteish Deshmukh and Maniesh Paul asked superstar Salman Khan a question during the IIFA Awards, “Who is behind Salman?” Salman Khan said in response to this question, “There is a man behind me and his name is Shahrukh Khan. Hey kab se mere behind hai kab se…” Salman Khan further said, referring to Shah Rukh’s upcoming film, “Our ‘Pathan’ and ‘Hamara Jawan’ are ready.” Let us tell you, Shahrukh had recently announced another new film ‘Jawan’, this film will hit the big screen on June 2 next year.
When Salman did not have money
Sharing an anecdote from his early days, Salman Khan said that at that time I did not consider myself a star. The actor further told that ‘I did not have money, actor Sunil Shetty had a showroom named ‘Mischief’. I was looking at stone wash jeans, boosters and purses. I knew I couldn’t buy it because I didn’t have that much money. But Sunil saw my eyes and decided to get me whatever I wanted. Salman Khan got emotional while telling this anecdote and could not hold back his tears.
Thanks to Boney Kapoor
During IIFA, Salman Khan also thanked famous filmmaker Boney Kapoor and hugged him with moist eyes. Salman told that Boney has helped me all my life. When my career was going through a tough phase, Boney ji gave me a chance to work in the film Wanted. Due to which I was able to return to Bollywood again. Seeing the emotional atmosphere, to lighten it, Salman jokingly said that Boney ji gave me no entry after this so that Anil Kapoor could make a comeback.
God-like man helped
Bollywood’s Dabangg Salman Khan also thanked filmmaker Ramesh Taurani. Salman said that I did not have any film till 6 months after the success of ‘Maine Pyaar Kiya’. Then a man like God came into my life, his name was Ramesh Taurani. At that time, my father had given wrong news to a magazine that I had a film with me. Ramesh Taurani went to Sippy’s office and gave him Rs 5 lakh and that’s how I got the film ‘Pathar Ke Phool’.
Talking about the workfront, Salman and Katrina Kaif’s Tiger 3 is going to come soon. The film will release by next year. Apart from this, Salman is also in discussion about his upcoming film ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’. The actor’s No Entry 2 and Kick 2 are also in the pipeline.
