Since his teen days, the actor has been admiring Chiranjeevi for his diverse personality and electrifying screen space. It is said that when Chiranjeevi’s son Ram Charan was shooting for his Bollywood debut Zanjeer in Mumbai, Salman had sent meals to his set every day, without fail.
Now, Khan is all set to share screen space with Telugu megastar Chiranjeevi in a film titled Godfather. Chiranjeevi says sharing screen with Salman is an absolute joy and his presence will no doubt give a magical kick to the audience. Notably, Godfather is a commercial entertainer, directed by Mohan Raja and is also the official Telugu remake of the Malayalam superhit Lucifer starring Mohanlal.
A source close to the project told that the producers of Godfather offered an amount of 15-20 crores to Salman for his guest appearance but the Bollywood star was adamant that he won’t take any money. The actor was clear from the first day that he will be doing the cinema due to his love and respect for Chiranjeevi.
The sequences of Salman in Godfather include a solo action block for his introduction, a combination of action scenes with Chiranjeevi besides a dance number featuring the duo.
Interestingly, Salman also has a 15 minute appearance in Pathaan fronted by Shah Rukh Khan. He plays the role of Tiger in the cinema. Back in the day, Aditya Chopra had offered him a humongous sum of 50 crores to shoot for the cinema, however, Salman politely turned down the offer saying, ‘Anything for Shah Rukh.’
