A throwback clip featuring Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and his father, veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, has resurfaced online and is capturing hearts across social media platforms. The video, recorded during the trailer launch event of the film 'Sikandar' in 2025, offers a rare glimpse into the actor's relationship with his father and the profound respect he continues to show him despite being one of the biggest stars in the country.
The Viral Moment
The footage, shot inside a packed theatre, shows Salman preparing to greet the fans who had gathered for the event. Before stepping out, however, he turns to his father and seeks his approval. According to the viral clip's caption, Salman says, "Woh main fans ko dikha ke aa raha hoon" (I'll go and meet the fans), to which Salim Khan responds, "Acha milke aao" (Ok, go and meet). This brief exchange has struck a chord with fans, many of whom have praised the actor's humility and strong family values.
The Film Behind the Viral Moment
The video dates back to the promotional campaign of 'Sikandar', in which Salman Khan played the role of Sanjay, the benevolent king of Rajkot. The story follows his battle against a powerful politician's son while dealing with a personal tragedy. After the death of his wife, portrayed by Rashmika Mandanna, Sanjay embarks on a mission to safeguard the lives of individuals who benefited from her organ donations. The emotional action drama generated significant buzz during its release and remains a talking point among Salman Khan fans.
Salim Khan's Health Scare Earlier This Year
The renewed attention on the father-son duo also comes months after concerns emerged regarding Salim Khan's health. The veteran screenwriter was hospitalised in February following a minimal brain haemorrhage. Doctors later confirmed that a medical procedure had been carried out to stabilise his condition. Following treatment and recovery, Salim Khan was discharged from the hospital in March, much to the relief of his family and well-wishers.
What's Next for Salman Khan?
On the professional front, Salman Khan has a packed schedule ahead. The actor will next headline 'Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace', directed by Apoorva Lakhia, with Chitrangada Singh playing a pivotal role in the film. Apart from that project, Salman is also busy filming Vamshi Paidipally's tentatively titled 'SVC63'. The upcoming entertainer stars Nayanthara opposite him and is being produced by Dil Raju, making it one of the most anticipated projects in his upcoming slate.
