Salman Khan: ‘Had Imagined Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff in those roles, Could Never see Myself doing big films’

In a recent interview with a leading magazine, Salman Khan was asked to choose his favorite films from his own filmography and in his response the actor picked Maine Pyar Kiya (1989).

He said, “Asking an actor to name their favourite movie is usually like asking a parent to pick between their favourite child."

He admitted that Maine Pyaar Kiya is his favourite film among all the films he has done so far. Adding further, Khan said, “I was about 18 years old, and there was a truly memorable moment during the shoot for the song Kabootar Ja Ja Ja when I suddenly knew that this was the role for me. During several narrations, I’d imagine Jackie Shroff or Anil Kapoor in those roles, but I could never actually see myself doing big films. That moment was the first time I really felt, ‘Yes, I can do this.’ I had tears in my eyes.”

Meanwhile, Khan is coming to the next Eid 2025 with Sikandar, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala and directed by AR Murugadoss.
