Salman's latest failed protégé
Call it a bizarre coincidence but most, if not absolutely all, the young actors and actresses whom Salman Khan has introduced on screen have flopped. In 2019, Salman launched ZaheerIqbal and PranutanBahl in his home production 'Notebook'. Their careers went nowhere after their high-profile debut until recently, when Pranutan has signed her second film 'Helmet' co-starring AparshkatiKhurrana and made by Dino Morea.
Then there may be the infamous SoorajPancholi, who was launched by Salman in Hero 3 years ago and is still struggling after his second release 'Satellite Shankar', which also flopped.
Now, the most recent in the long type of Salman's unlucky debutantes is SaieeManjrekar, filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar's daughter who landed herself a plum role in 'Dabangg 3'. Though she has been appreciated on her behalf performance, even the most steadfast supporters of the film have commented on how ill-matched she looked with Salman.
