It is not surprising that Salman Khan is making headlines, as he is poised to make his return to the big screen with a much-anticipated release on Eid 2025 after a significant hiatus. The superstar is preparing for the eagerly awaited film Sikandar, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and featuring Rashmika Mandanna as a co-star. As excitement for Sikandar reaches new heights, a nostalgic story from the filming of Salman’s 2014 blockbuster Kick has come to light.

Kick, which also included performances by Jacqueline Fernandez and Randeep Hooda, featured veteran actor Saurabh Shukla in a crucial role. A recent anecdote sheds light on a small yet meaningful gesture from Salman towards Shukla that made a lasting impact. Here are the details.

Saurabh Shukla Reflects on Salman Khan’s Respectful Gesture  

Salman Khan is cherished by his fans not only for his star power but also for his humility, kindness, and generosity. His co-stars frequently commend these traits, and Saurabh Shukla’s recent account regarding Kick further exemplifies Salman’s commendable character.

The seasoned actor recounted an incident during filming where he needed to express a reaction in front of Salman’s character, Devi Lal Singh. However, an unexpected interruption from one of Salman’s assistants nearly disrupted the scene. "Salman’s character was meeting me for the first time as my daughter’s boyfriend. The scene was crafted in such a way that he inquired about my salary, my savings, and so forth. When he asked those questions, I reacted in a way that showed I was taken aback and astonished," Saurabh Shukla explained.

He further elaborated, "Once the scene was completed, one of Salman’s assistants came to me and urged that I modify my reaction. He felt that I should display fear in front of Salman’s character. Despite my attempts to clarify that such a reaction would be illogical for the scene, the assistant implied that Salman might not be in favor of my interpretation."

However, before any adjustments could be made, Salman Khan intervened. "Salman summoned his assistant and instructed him not to meddle with my performance. He reassured him that my acting was ideal for the scene and required no modifications," Shukla recounted.

This considerate gesture of respect and creative autonomy exemplifies why Salman Khan is so highly esteemed by his peers. His readiness to support his co-stars' artistry truly reflects his generous spirit.

As the release of Sikandar approaches for Eid 2025, excitement is reaching new heights. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, the film is set to be a high-octane spectacle. Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, Sikandar is anticipated to provide an exhilarating viewing experience, with additional surprises still to be unveiled.
