Yes, we were right Zaheer Iqbal is the man that Salman Khan is introducing in Bollywood!

Salman Khan has a keen eye for talent and when he spots genuine talent, nothing can stop him from bringing that talent into the public eye. Yesterday we told you how the superstar is all set to introduce his good friend Iqbal Ratansi’s son Zaheer Iqbal and today the actor confirmed it.

Zaheer doesn’t hail from a film family but his father and Salman have known each other for years. Salman spotted Zaheer at his sister’s wedding function doing a stage performance. He was so impressed with Zaheer’s act that he decided then and there that he would launch this terrific performer in Bollywood.

Salman was waiting for the right film to launch Zaheer and now the wait is over as he is ready to launch Zaheer in the world of glamour and glitter. Zaheer will be making his debut in a yet-to-be-titled film produced under Salman’s banner SKF (Salman Khan Films) in collaboration with Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde of Cine1 Studios. The film is being helmed by Nitin Kakkar of ‘Filmistaan’ fame and will go on floors in September this year.

The film is a love story set in Kashmir. Hunt for a leading lady opposite Zaheer is going on and apparently, the makers want to cast a new face. Salman has been personally supervising the training that Zaheer is undergoing for the last few months. In fact, he’s even named him ‘Zahero’.

A proud Salman says, “Zaheer is made for the movies. He is a fantastic actor and a born star.” The film’s producers are tremendously confident of the young actor. “Zaheer has an incredible presence in front of the camera,” promises Murad Khetani. “Zaheer’s greatest asset is his honesty towards the craft,” adds Ashwin Varde.

The film’s director Nitin Kakkar is excited about the journey ahead. “Zaheer’s level of commitment towards his work is great. He will go a very long way,” he says.

Well, we are all excited to watch this handsome hunk on screen. What about you guys?
