Actor Salman Khan assumes a new avatar in director Samir Karnik’s upcoming film.
We have seen him sport long hair and we have also seen him in clean-shaven pate. Now, Bollywood star Salman Khan has turned a Sikh for the film ‘Heroes’, which was previously titled Mera Bharat Mahaan .
The movie has Salman playing a Sikh soldier from Punjab.
Obviously Salman wore a turban and grew his bread to play the character. The actor reportedly did not shave for three weeks to get a perfect bearded look despite having an option to use a fake beard.
The film is a road movie about a group of students who go on a road trip to make a documentary on India.
‘Heroes’ has been shot in Ladakh, Chandigarh, Punjab and Delhi. The film is set to hit the theatres on May 1.
During the shooting of the film in ‘Ladakh’, Salman, along with other stars, often went out on long motorcycle rides to Buddhist monasteries in the region.
Salman strongly believes in harmony among different faiths and religions. He has also visited the holiest shrine of Sikhs, The Golden Temple, in the past.
