Salman Khan goes in lengths to talk about his close friend’s son Zaheer who is also making his debut with Notebook. The superstar of Bollywood who is launching new and fresh talents in the film business is now all set to introduce Zaheer and granddaughter of the iconic actress Nutan and daughter of Mohnish Bahl, Pranutan Bahl. The debutants are all set to win hearts with their performance in the upcoming film Notebook which is set in the backdrop of Kashmir.
While the new actors are receiving a lot of love and positive reactions from the audiences, Salman Khan who has co-produced the film too is excited for it to hit the silver screens. Over and above that, the superstar of Bollywood is all hearts for Zaheer.
In an interview with DNA, Salman spoke about Zaheer and was all praise for him. The actor said, “Zaheer is a dear friend’s son, he has been with us since his childhood. When he showed a leaning towards movies, I asked him to train hard first. He has been doing so since Jai Ho (2014).”
He further added, “He has attended a course in acting, diction, action and dancing; in short, all the things that an actor needs to be equipped in. Every day, we would send him to auditions, never mind if nothing came out, but it was a part of his training. He’s got the personality of a hero, so we call him Zahero.”
“He’s a good swimmer, he plays squash and table tennis quite well, too, and is adept at roller-blade skating as well cycling. He’s respectful, well-mannered and has had a good upbringing”, adds the Dabangg actor.
The Notebook is slated to release on March 29 and is filmed mostly in Kashmir. Apart from the actors, the picturesque locations are also something to watch out for.
