Yesterday, Salman Khan shared a throwback picture from when he was probably a teenager and he was with a little kid. He made an announcement about how a new face will be launched in Bollywood soon and we couldn’t sleep the entire night because of the anticipation. Finally, we’ll have one more superstar in Bollywood, because as everyone knows, you can’t be successful if you don’t have Salman’s blessing.
(Please appreciate the sarcasm and don’t give hate, thanks!)

Salman Khan is actually the ultimate godfather of Bollywood. He can make or break your career and he’s no stranger to launching new people and helping them make their way in this really exclusive career.
And, looks like Zaheer Iqbal, the kid from the picture, is off to a good start. You know how nepotism works, right? So it would’ve been hard for Zaheer to enter Bollywood since he doesn’t belong to any Bollywood family, but his father and Salman have known each other for years, as proved by the #tb picture. Apparently, Salman spotted Zaheer at his sister’s wedding festivities and was impressed with his stage performance there and if you’ve impressed Salman, you’ve probably achieved one of the biggest things in life.

Reportedly, the movie under Salman’s banner starring Zaheer will also have a newcomer as the female lead and will be a love story set in Kashmir. The untitled project is expected to go on floors in September this year and will be directed by Nitin Kakkar who said, “Zaheer’s level of commitment towards his work is great. He will go a very long way.”
