Salman Khan, who recently hosted the International Indian Film Academy Awards (IIFA) in Abu Dhabi, broke down in tears as he reflected on his early days in the industry. Salman revealed that he had no work after the success of Maine Pyar Kiya, claiming that his co-star Bhagyashree took all the credit. He also credited Ramesh Taurani, a filmmaker, with saving his career.
Maine Pyar Kiya (1989) was Salman’s first lead role, and Bhagyashree made her acting debut in the film. The Sooraj Barjatya-directed film went on to become one of India’s highest-grossing films at the time. Bhagyashree, on the other hand, announced shortly after that she was leaving the industry after only one film to marry Himalaya Dassani.
“After Maine Pyar Kiya came out, Bhagyashree decided she didn’t want to work anymore because she wanted to get married,” Salman Khan said at the IIFA. Pura credit leke chali gayi aur wo pura credit leke chali gayi aur wo pura credit leke chal (she took all the credit). I went six months without seeing a movie. That’s when Ramesh Taurani, a ‘devta saman aadmi’ (God-like man), entered my life. My father paid 2000 rupees at the time and persuaded producer GP Sippy to publish a false announcement in a film industry magazine claiming that he had signed me for a film. That was done by GP, but there was no picture. Ramesh Taurani, on the other hand, went to Sippy’s office and paid Rs. 5 lakh for the film’s music. It was because of those 5 lakhs that I was finally got a film called Patthar Ke Phool (1991). Thank you!”
During his moving speech, Salman also mentioned how Suneil Shetty gave him a shirt and a wallet that he had been eyeing in a store but couldn’t afford. He also hugged Boney Kapoor, thanking him for helping him resurrect his career with Wanted (2008). “Boney Kapoor has aided me throughout my life,” he said. When things weren’t going well, he gave me the movie Wanted, which got me back to work.” He also cracked a joke, “Then he gave me another film, No Entry (2005), in which Anil (Kapoor) was reunited with me.”
In April of this year, it was announced that a sequel to No Entry would be made with the original cast of Salman, Anil, and Fardeen Khan. Salman is very serious about the project, according to Anees Bazmee, and will begin filming soon.
