According to the news from Bollywood, it is said that the very first film of Dabangg Salman Khan under the under the Yash Raj Film was suggested by actress Katrina Kaif.
Yes, this it quite strange to know, but it’s true. Actor Salman Khan was taken on board Kabir Khan’s film ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ on Britain-born actress Katrina Kaif’s suggestion.
Meanwhile, this will be after a quite long time when the Bollywood’s sweetest on-screen couple Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif will be seen together.
Talking to a local newspaper, the actor accepted that it was Katrina Kiaf who asked the filmmaker Kabir Khan to talk to Salman Khan for the lead role in the film ‘Ek Tha Tiger’.
Salman Khan said, “To start with, it’s a fantastic film that Katrina got. And in fact, she was the one to — in a way — get me in ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. Katrina was the one to tell Kabir to come and meet me.”
Further, the actor said, “I had watched some of Kabir’s videos when he was working on Kabul Express (2006). At that time, he had showed me a few shots – which he had canned — on DVD. A guy named Apoorva Shah used to work with Sohail Khan Productions. And since Apoorva and Kabir are good friends, he had got Kabir home once. When I saw his work, I had realised — immediately — that he has got something in him.”
In the meantime, Bollywood as well as filmmaker wonders why Salman Khan thanks Katrina Kaif for the role.
Kabir Khan said, “Salman must have been joking. I don’t think anyone needs to suggest his name for a film. Kabhi kabhi woh tedhi-medhi baatein kar deta hai (he keeps saying whatever somes to his mind). But nothing of that sort happened.”
