Salman inspiration for ‘Ishaqzaade’ Arjun

Published

Yash Raj Films’ much awaited ‘Ishaqzaade’ is slated to release on May 11. The film has been in the news for quite some time because of its lead pair, newbies Parineeti Chopra and Arjun Kapoor.

While Parineeti has been highly appreciated for her role in ‘Ladies vs Ricky Bahl’, Arjun isn’t being exposed much to the media, in order to generate curiosity among the audience. Not to forget, the constant comparisons of the debutant to Abhishek Bachchan.

And now YRF has yet another plan that could work for the film.

Salman Khan’s ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ promo will be released along with ‘Ishaqzaade’. Now either ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ will benefit from ‘Ishaqzaade’ or vice versa, we don’t know. But this looks like a good move.

But wait, that’s not the only connection Salman has with newbie Arjun Kapoor. It was this ‘Dabangg’ Khan who inspired Boney Kapoor’s son Arjun, who earlier weighed 140 kgs, to lose weight and turn to acting.

Salman shares a cordial relation with the 26-year-old actor as he was the one who guided and insisted Arjun to become an actor who was earlier enjoying filmmaking by assisting filmmakers. 

Arjun, weighing 140kg could never imagine himself as an actor. Salman literally took him under his wings. Arjun travelled with Salman for almost two years while he was working on 'Veer' and 'Wanted', and worked out with him.

The audience will look forward to ‘Ishaqzaade’ also to see the first look of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’. The film is being highly anticipated since it will see ex-lovers Salman and Katrina pair up on screen.

Now let’s see what both these films have in store for the audience.
