Previously, Salman Khan had sported bald look in the films' Tere Naam' and 'Sultan'. In 20201, on the show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, Salman had spoken about going back. "Not many people know but there's a very interesting story behind my look in Tere Naam. I was actually shooting for another film when the producer of Tere Naam and a very dear friend of mine - Sunil Manchanda came up to me and said that I'll have to go bald to get into my character. I was not really sure because I was already doing a film at that time."
"I still remember I was down with fever this one day, and the director of the other film was pestering me to attend the shoot. I impulsively went to the washroom and shaved my hair out of irritation. The next day, I called up Sunil ji and said that I had shaved my hair and am willing to sign up for Tere Naam," he had said.
On the work front, Salman Khan will next be seen in the film 'Tiger 3' with Katrina Kaif. The film is expected to hit the theatres on Diwali. However, an official announcement of the same is awaited. The film will release in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu this Diwali. Reportedly, Shah Rukh Khan has a cameo in the film. Recently, there were also reports of Salman doing the round.
