Sooraj Barjatya’s forthcoming movie will have a shot of his lucky mascot.
The very opening shot of Vivah will have Salman Khan . However, it won’t be the actor in flesh and blood, but just a life-size poster of him.
Barjatya is known for his superhit films like Maine Pyar Kiya and Hum Aapke Hain Kaun , which featured Salman in main roles. Both films had Salman playing the lead character Prem.
‘Vivah’, however, has Shahid Kapur playing Prem, because the film is a love story of a young couple. But Barjatya decided to include his lucky mascot Salman in the film. So he shot the opening scene of the film on a poster of Salman from his film Saawan - The Love Season which released and bombed early this year.
Barjatya has also spoken of the possibility of working again with Salman in his next project after this.
‘Vivah’ traces a love story between a city guy (Shahid Kapur) and a small-town girl ( Amrita Rao ) from their engagement to marriage. The story takes an unexpected turn with a tragedy on their wedding day.
