That Salman Khan has an affinity for Marathi films is a known fact. Readers might recall reading about 'bhai' pestering Riteish Deshmukh for a role in the latter's Marathi debut 'Lai Bhaari'.While the pestering paid off, it took a while for Salman to get a full-fledged role in a Marathi film, which will be in Riteish's upcoming Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj biopic.
Salman promotes 'Lai Bhaari' through Twitter
But Salman has always been supportive of Marathi cinema and his latest tweet about
Mahesh Manjrekar's upcoming film 'FU' cements this belief. The film will see Manjrekar directing again after 2016's hit 'Natsamrat' and features 'Sairat' actor Akash Thosar apart from
Sanskruti Balgude and others.
Salman's 'Lai Bhaari' look revealed
Mahesh and Salman have been good friends for quite a long time. Mahesh has even gone on record to say that he can't say no to Salman because he's such a good friend. On the other hand, Salman has appreciated Mahesh's work and had even showed interest at adapting the actor-director's 'Shikshanachya Aaicha Gho' in Hindi.
Salman, Mahesh Manjrekar to team up for remakes!
The project didn't take off but with Salman's continuous efforts to benefit the industry, we might just get to see him more in Marathi films from now on.
