The Indian film industry is full of stories about how Salman Khan has groomed hoards of actors who worked with him or who sought his guidance.

He patronised some and for some he completely built their careers.

When Jacqueline Fernandez got the opportunity to work with Salman Khan in his next, she grabbed it with both hands.

It was too good an offer to think twice considering the box office royalty Salman enjoys.

She might have bagged a Salman Khan film, but that doesn’t mean she’s sitting back, relying on the star’s laurels to make the movie a success.

The actress is leaving no stone unturned to prepare for Sajid Nadiadwala’s 'Kick'. The beauty queen has been asked to put on weight and she gained eight kilos extra.

The Sri Lankan lady is now working on her language and diction.

Salman has recommended a coach for the job and she has been taking Urdu classes as her role requires her to speak the language.

Since Salman suggested she do so, he also recommended a well-known Urdu teacher and diction coach called Kamal Anand.
 
The young actor began the language lessons over a week ago at her house and she will continue them for another three weeks. Though she finds it challenging but she is determined to do her best.
 
An action-packed drama, 'Kick' is a remake of a Telugu movie of the same name.

The film, which will mark Sajid Nadiadwala’s debut as a director, has been scheduled to release on Eid in 2014. The unit will soon resume shooting at Karjat where a whopping R15 crore has been spent to re-create New Delhi’s Connaught Place, Paharganj and Karol Bagh areas.
