Mumbai, Aug 21: ‘Singh is Kinng’ indeed! Following Akshay’s footsteps, it’s none other than the B-town macho man
Salman Khan , who is all charged up to don the most happening look these days, a turban and a beard. The actor, who would soon be seen playing a Sardar in his forthcoming flick ‘Heroes’, is doing all that it takes to give his character all the authenticity.
The actor who is known for his intense and severe reactions has taken his turban pretty seriously as he is now following some important principles of the religion as long as he has the Sikh attire on.
It’s a known fact that
Salman is a chain smoker and stops at nothing. However, we have been told that the actor did not lit the bud anytime he had the Sikh getup on.
Speaking to a news daily, Sallu’s manager, Vikas said, “
Salman respects all religions and follows them sincerely. He knew that Sikhs generally don’t smoke as they are prohibited by their religion. So, taking that into consideration, he decided not to smoke during the shoot of this film. I remember sometimes he used to spend 10 hours in the same get up but didn’t smoke at all.
Salman also grew his beard to make his get up look real. His respect for the turban made him stay away from cigarettes.”
‘Heroes’, set to release early next year, is the story of two boys who embark on an adventurous road trip from Delhi to Chandigarh and then from Manali to Ladhakh. Besides
Salman, the flick stars Vatsal Sheth, Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol, Mithun Chakraborty, Sohail
Khan, Preity Zinta, Dino Morea, Amrita Arora and Riya Sen.
Hmm.. looks like
Salman’s out to prove that he is sure better than the real Singh. But for now, Akshay is the real ‘Kinng’!
