Especially so since the actor had to go through many upheavals while making the Kabir Khan film.
During his Kashmir shoot, Salman was preoccupied with the court cases that were to be heard in Jodhpur and Mumbai.
The 2002 hit-and-run case was heard in Mumbai in the first week of May and those were tough days for Salman. It saw him take trips to the court and also put his family under a lot of strain.
Not just that, he wasn't in the best of health either during that time. In Kashmir, Salman suffered severe pain in his jaw due to the biting cold. Poor him!
The Kashmir shoot also saw the star call for added security since it was his first time shooting in the Valley.
During his shoot in Mandawa, Rajasthan, Salman was mobbed by fans on motorbikes and it got so weird that he had to get off and ask them to clear the way for their own safety.
The police also had to resort to mild lathi charge to keep the crowds in control.
After all these troubles, Salman sure deserved a runaway hit. What say?
