Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan, known for his blockbuster films and even bigger personality, recently dropped a truth bomb during a press meet for his upcoming film Sikandar. When asked if he’d work with Pakistani artistes, Salman gave an answer that was straight to the point—with a dash of his signature humor.
“Take the permission from here, and I am ready to work with them,” Salman, 59, confidently declared in Mumbai. He didn’t stop there, adding, “Or get them a visa and take permission from the government here.” Because, you know, when in doubt, just throw in some paperwork and government approvals—very Bollywood, right?
But the real kicker? Salman, never one to miss an opportunity for a good laugh, added, “Or else I’ll play cricket.” Yep, because if Bollywood doesn’t work out, there’s always cricket—and we’re pretty sure Salman would be a six-hitting sensation in the IPL.
So, while politics might keep the industry on its toes, Salman’s got the perfect backup plan. Who needs a script when you’ve got a cricket bat and a killer sense of humor?
Salman Khan starrer Sikandar opened with a bang on Eid, the film is helmed by AR Murugadoss and produced by Sajid Nadiadwala. The film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Sathyaraj, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, Kishore, Jatin Sarna and Sanjay Kapoor.
