Shahid plays Salman Khan fan in 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero'

Actor Shahid Kapoor says his character in the forthcoming film "Phata Poster Nikla Hero" is a fan of Bollywood star Salman Khan, who has also done a cameo in the movie.

"There's a little scene in the film where Salman sir is there...Salman sir was kind enough to do a special appearance in the film," the 32-year-old said here Friday at a press meet for the film.

"Phata Poster Nikla Hero" is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, who had earlier roped in Salman for a special appearance in his film "Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani" as well.

Talking about his character's fascination with Salman, Shahid said: "He (Shahid's character) is a very big fan of Salman Khan and in one scene we have even worn a 'Being Human' t-shirt and in another scene, the character has gone to buy vegetables with his mother and his hands are full and he is eating a banana standing and watching the poster of 'Dabangg 2'."

Being Human is Salman's NGO.

"Phata Poster Nikla Hero" also stars Ileana D'Cruz and is slated to release Aug 23.
