He Breaks Rules, Hearts and Records
As Prem, the nation’s first love; as Bajrangi, the unlikely hero who saved the day and brought kindness back in vogue; 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 with equal ease and style. While critics share the perfect love-hate relationship with him, for his fans—who flock to the theatres with every new release, their loyalty unquestionable, their excitement unbridled—nothing can match the anticipation of a new film starring Salman Khan.
His signature swagger, magnetic charm and larger-than-life persona have fascinated moviegoers film after film.
In Salman Khan: The Sultan of Bollywood, through fan interviews, never-before-seen photos by veteran Bollywood photographer, the late Pradeep Bandekar, and insights from long-time collaborators of the star, the author has put forward an ode to the actor who has made an impact on pop culture like no other.
Through controversies and comebacks, blockbusters and hard life lessons, Salman has remained cinema’s wild heart and its last true mystery—perhaps the only superstar of his kind that India will ever see.
