Salman Khan’s statement against fake casting calls

Taking to Instagram on Monday, Salman said in his statement, “This is to clarify that neither Mr Salman Khan nor Salman Khan Films are casting for any film currently.

Salman Khan Films

Salman Khan established his film production and distribution company, Salman Khan Films in 2011. His mother Salma Khan is also a part of it. He had said that the money generated from film productions will be donated to the Being Human organisation. The first film produced under the banner was Chillar Party, directed by Nitesh Tiwari and Vikas Bahl.

Salman Khan Films have backed several films including Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Hero, Tubelight, Race 3, Loveyatri, Notebook, Bharat, Kaagaz, Dabangg 3, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai and Antim: The Final Truth. Their last production was Salman’s most recent outing, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.

Directed by Farhad Samji, the film starred Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh, Jagapathi Babu, Bhumika Chawla, Raghav Juyal, Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam, Shehnaaz Gill and Tanikella Bharani. Released on the occasion of Eid this year, the film met with negative reviews from critics. Although he started off well at the box office, later the film fell flat.
