On the occasion of 21 years of Salman Khan starrer 'Hum Apke Hain Koun', the Kabir Khan film hit the right chord. Apart from minting money in India, the film is doing really good business overseas as well.
In the recent years, ever since Salman Khan made a comeback with 'Wanted', he has been releasing his movies on Eid. All his movies that were released on Eid have entered the Rs 100 cr club, and Bajrangi Baijaan which showcases his innocence onscreen has been liked the most by his fans. He has played the role of Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, who is a true follower of Hanuman and has very simple ideologies.
Apart from Salman, who has won accolades for his role, child actor Harshaali Malhotra, who played the role of Munni has been receiving appreciations from all over. Nawazuddin Siddiqui played the role of a Pakistani journalist Chand Nawaz and Kareena Kapoor Khan is seen playing the love interest of Salman.
