When
Salman
sang
the
evergreen
song

Lag
Jaa
Gale,
did
he
have
anyone
in
mind?


Rediff.com‘s
Mayur
Sanap,
Hitesh
Harisinghani
and
Afsar
Dayatar
bring
back
interesting
scenes
from
the

Sikandar
trailer
launch.

If
the
fans
make
a
demand,
Salman
Khan
always
complies!

This
was
witnessed
at
the
trailer
launch
of

Sikandar
where
Salman,
known
for
his
penchant
for
singing,
was
wheedled
into
crooning
a
few
lines.

He
spontaneously
broke
into
the
evergreen
song,

Lag
Jaa
Gale
from
the
1964
film

Woh
Kaun
Thi?,
and
it
led
to
an
unexpected
musical
moment.

Among
the
audience,
hooting
and
cheering
for
Salman,
was
his
father
Salim
Khan
who
made
a
rare
appearance
at
one
of
his
son’s
movie
events.

Salman
was
accompanied
by
Rashmika
Mandanna,
Kajal
Aggarwal,
Anjini
Dhawan,
Sathyaraj
and
Sharman
Joshi
as
well
as
Director
A
R
Murugadoss
and
Producer
Sajid
Nadiadwala,
who
was
barely
recognisable
after
his
recent
makeover.

Murugadoss,
best
known
in
Bollywood
for
helming
Aamir
Khan’s

Ghajini
and
Akshay
Kumar’s

Holiday,
promised
that
Salman
will
make
the
audience
whistle
and
cry
when
they
watch

Sikandar.

Salman
interrupted
his
director
and
humorously
added,
“As
long
as
Salman
does
not
make
Sajid
Nadiadwala
and
Murugadoss
cry
after
the
release
and
break
her
(Rashmika)
amazing
track
record,
I
am
fine
with
it.”

Salman,
who
marks
his
return
to
the
screen
after
the
2023
Diwali
release

Tiger
3,
acknowledged
his
fans’
support
for
the
commercial
success
of
his
films.

“Whether
it’s
Eid,
Diwali,
New
Year,
or
any
festive
or
non-festive
occasion,
I
always
get
love
from
the
people,”
Salman
said.

“Good
or
bad,
they
help
my
films
cross
at
least
Rs
100
crore
or
Rs
200
crore
(Rs
1
billion
to
Rs
2
billion),”
he
added.

Murugadoss
shares
his
fan
moment
with
Salman
Khan
in
Chennai

Sikandar‘s
leading
lady
Rashmika,
who
is
enjoying
a
winning
streak
at
the
box
office
with

Animal,
Pushpa
2
and

Chhaava,
shared
her
excitement
on
collaborating
with
Salman
and
Murugadoss.

“I
got
the
opportunity
to
work
with
Salman
sir.
What
could
be
bigger
than
that?”
she
asked
with
a
smile.

“I
have
always
wanted
to
work
with
Murugadoss
sir.
I
entered
the
industry
eight
years
ago
but
I
have
been
watching
his
films
for
much
longer.
Seeing
his
work
is
incredibly
beautiful.
As
sir
says,
‘It’s
all
mass!’
I
really
wanted
to
work
with
him.
I
feel
truly
honoured
that
I
got
to
work
with
him,”
Rashmika
added.

Salman
was
all
praise
for
Rashmika
as
he
admired
her
work
ethic,
and
said
she
reminds
him
of
his
younger
self.

“She
would
shoot
for

Pushpa
2
till
7
pm
and
then
come
to

Sikandar
set
at
9
pm
and
shoot
with
us
till
6:30
am,
and
then
go
back
to
the

Pushpa
2
set
again.”

“After
breaking
her
leg,
she
continued
to
shoot,
did
not
cancel
a
day.
In
many
ways,
she
reminds
me
of
a
younger
me,”
Salman
said.

WATCH:
Rashmika
on
her
back-to-back
box
office
hits.

Rashmika,
28,
and
a
soon-to-be
60
Salman
play
a
romantic
couple
in

Sikandar,
which
didn’t
quite
sit
right
with
viewers
as
they
continue
to
criticise
the
pairing
on
social
media.

Addressing
this
negative
online
chatter,
Salman
put
forward
his
humourous
side
and
said
he
would
even
work
with
Rashmika’s
daughter
whenever
she
has
one.

“They
say
there
is
a
31-year
difference
between
the
heroine
and
me.
The
heroine
doesn’t
have
any
problem,
her
father
doesn’t
have
any
problem,
then
why
do
you
have
a
problem,

bhai?”
Salman
asked.

He
then
turned
towards
Rashmika
and
continued,
“Soon
she
will
marry,
and
may
become
mother
to
a
daughter.
She
will
be
a
star
and
I
will
work
with
her
too.
I
am
sure
Rashmika
will
give
her
permission,

hain
na?”

A
visibly
embarrassed
Rashmika
nodded
and
laughed
about
it.
