directed by Prabhu Deva.

hit a rough patch, Boney Kapoor gave me a film called Wanted. After that, he
gave another film, No Entry, which marked the comeback of Anil Kapoor. So Boney
ji has helped me a lot, for which I will always be thankful, "Salman
stated at the event.

considered himself a nobody. When I didn't have any money, actor Suniel Shetty
had a shop called Mischief, and I was eyeing a pair of stone-washed jeans,
boots, and a purse. I knew I couldn't afford it because I didn't have the money.
But Anna saw my eyes and decided to gift me what I yearned for, "Salman
said as he struggled to hold back tears.
