New Delhi: Salman Khan celebrates his 58th birthday today (December 27) and on the occasion, Karan Johar hinted at a project together with the superstar. The filmmaker took to Instagram and wrote a long birthday note for Salman and gave a hint about their project together.
In the post, KJo recalled how Salman had said yes to the director’s debut film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai when many actors had declined the role of Aman in the film. He wrote, “25 years ago I was at a party lost and confused…. A massive movie star came upto me and asked me why I was standing by a corner … I told him I had been to several actors for a part but was politely rejected … the superstars sister is close to me so he graciously said she had spoken highly of my script and that I should meet him the next day to narrate the film to him…
In my wildest dreams I never imagined I would even get the opportunity of a narration …”
He added, “I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first of the film like my life depended on it… He looked at me at the interval point ( by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive ) kindly offered me water and said “ I’’m on!!! “ I was perplexed and said but “ you are in the second half” you haven’t heard it? He said “ I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don’t do this movie” and that’s how Salman Khan was in KKHH …. I am deeply grateful to Alvira and my father’s goodwill for making sure I had the perfect Aman and SALMAN KHAN in my debut film! Gestures and stories like this just don’t happen today!”
He then went on to wish the superstar and said that after 25 years they have finally have a ‘story to tell again.’
He wrote, “Happy birthday Salman ! So much love and respect for you always …Also 25 years later we will finally have a story to tell again… not saying any more than that 😉 happy happy birthday ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”
Salman had played a cameo in Karan’s directorial debut ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.’
