Salman Khan comes to Chennai - pics (video added)

Bollywood hunk Salman Khan will be in the city for the audio launch of the Tamil film Markandeyan this evening.

The actor’s longtime friend and stunt choreographer FEFSI Vijayan, who has turned an actor and has now taken up the role of a filmmaker, is directing this film. Vijayan launches his son Sabarish as the lead in this film.

The audio will be launched at a star-studded function at PVR Cinemas on Wednesday evening.
Salman and Vijayan’s relationship goes back a long time and they have also worked together on some of the actor’s recent hits —Wanted and Dabangg, and are also working on Bodyguard.

While talking exclusively to S, Vijayan reveals how he got the Bollywood star to grace a Tamil audio launch function.

He explains, “Apart from just being a star, Salman is a wonderful human being. We share a great relationship. When I told him that I’m launching my son as a hero, he was thrilled and wished Sabarish all the success in the world for his first movie. Later, when I told him that I would like him to be present in Chennai for the film’s audio launch, he immediately said, ‘go ahead, I will be there on time’.”

Vijayan also revealed that the actor would arrive by a charted flight in the evening and after refreshing at a star hotel, he would drive to the venue of the function. Salman would leave the city late in the evening on the same day.
