There have been a series of school fires in the country in recent years, many of them which have turned out to be arson
Salman Khan, who is once again playing a cop in his brother Arbaaz Khan’s debut production Dabangg, says he has a special connect with the police as his grandfather was a police officer and, of course, due to his own run-ins with the law.
“I think because my grandfather was deputy inspector general (DIG) of police, Indore, I have this special thing for the cops. I have also shared a very long relationship...” added Salman with a laugh. He spent time in jail in 2002 after his car allegedly ran over four people sleeping on a footpath. He was once again behind bars in 2007 in Jodhpur on charges of hunting an endangered deer.
The actor has also previously played a policeman in several films like Wanted, Garv and Auzaar.
Known for his beefed-up physique, the actor said he lost weight for Dabangg. “It looked weird. You are playing a cop who is totally ribbed. I really wanted to look ribbed in the film,” said Salman.
Salman admits that he was a bit apprehensive about going for an image makeover for Dabangg, which also stars Sonakshi Sinha.
“I had just finished Veer and I had to cut my hair very short. I didn’t want to. The long hair was looking good. It took long to grow them; so I didn’t want anyone to cut them off.
“Five to six months before the film, Arbaaz used to come with different kinds of moustaches every week. I said I’m shooting for a film, can I grow a moustache? Somewhere Sonakshi also had this thing for her dad’s moustache. If you see my moustache, it’s somewhat like his only,” he laughed.
