The trailer of Salman Khan's forthcoming family entertainer, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, has created a stir. With the kind of fan base that Salman has, it is not surprising that the trailer has been trending ever since its launch. This is a dramatic film in which the Bollywood superstar will be seen as a Bajrangbali devotee, who is on a mission to help a little girl unite with her family in Pakistan. Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui also feature in stellar roles in this movie, directed by Kabir Khan.

While on the topic of Bajrangi aka Pavan Chaturvedi, Salman himself says that he is largely inspired by his reel-life character and wishes to imbibe his characteristics. He also wants his fans to become that person. The actor says he had developed an instant liking for the character, when he read the script for the first time. Describing Bajrangi as a man with a big heart, the superstar has been encouraging everyone to learn from his character.

Says Kabir, “In every role that Salman portrays, he looks for a quality that he can identify with. When I narrated the character of Bajrangi to Salman, he completely fell in love with him. There is a certain strength of character and a high sense of integrity that Bajrangi stands for. It is these qualities that Salman completely identified with.“

Amar Butala, COO, Salman Khan Films, says, “This is amongst Salman's most reassuring characters. When we heard the script, we instantly loved Pavan's character and Salman has taken it to another level.“

Bajrangi Bhaijaan, produced by Salman Khan Films and Rockline Venkatesh, released worldwide by Eros International, comes this Eid.
