Salman Khan: The Sultan of Bollywood

by Mohar Basu

English 1 edition

As Prem, the nation’s first love; as Radhe, the rebel with a cause; as Tiger, the action king who redefined machismo for a new India, Salman Khan is the only Bollywood superstar who has ruled romance, comedy and action in Hindi films with equal ease and style. While critics share the perfect love-hate relationship with him, for his fans–who flock to theatres with every new release, their loyalty unquestionable, their excitement unbridled–nothing can match the anticipation of a new film starring Salman Khan. With his signature swagger, magnetic charm and larger-than-life persona, everyone is fascinated with the actor. Packed with fan interviews, never-before-seen photos and insights from long-time collaborators of the star, Salman Khan: The Sultan of Bollywood is an ode to the actor who has made an impact on pop culture like no other. Through controversies and comebacks, blockbusters and hard-learnt lessons of life, Salman has remained cinema’s wild heart and its last true mystery–perhaps the only superstar of his kind that India will ever see.
