'Salman Khan worked all night to shape up his body for scenes in 'Veergati', recalls Akhilendra Mishra

Akhilendra Mishra, known for acting in Bollywood movies like Sarfarosh and Lagaan, recently talked about working with Salman Khan in the 1995 film Veergati. In the movie, where Akhilendra played the bad guy, he praised Salman’s hard work to get a great body during filming.


In an interview with Rajshri Unplugged, Akhilendra, a seasoned theater actor, shared how impressed he was with Salman's dedication.
Despite being a big star, Salman would work hard all night to shape up his body for scenes where he needed to show his muscles. The cameraman even adjusted the lights to make Salman look good. Akhilendra thought Salman's commitment to his role was amazing.

He also shared a story about filming the movie's climax. Salman spent the whole night lifting weights to make sure the shot looked perfect. Despite Salman's efforts, Veergati didn't do well at the box office. Akhilendra found this surprising because the movie had successfully run in theaters for 100 days.

In other news, there was an incident where two people fired shots outside Salman Khan’s house in Bandra. Luckily, nobody got hurt, but Salman’s family was scared by what happened. Salman's brother, Arbaaz Khan, released a statement saying they were shocked. The police have caught the two people involved in the incident.
