Salman Khan is watching Sonu Sood!

Just a day before the release of Dabaang, actor Sonakshi Sinha had got lucky as actor Salman Khan announced another film with the much talked-about debutante.

It was the remake of the Tamil blockbuster Kick which Shirish Kunder will now direct for film-maker Sajid Nadiadwala.

After Sinha, Khan has apparently now set his eyes on reviving the lead villian in his last film. And the industry knows what happens when Khan decides to put his weight behind an actors career!

And Sood, we hear, is hoping that the typical Sallu magic rubs off on his career as well. It seems that the big-hearted Salman has taken Sood under his wings. Source say that after the success of their last release together, Khan was particularly happy with Sonu’s performance in a negative role and has apparently decided to work with him in the remakes of the Southern hits Kick and Body Guard.

A source close to the actor adds, “Salman liked Sonu’s performance as Cheddi Singh and feels that they made a good hero-villian jodi.”

This is not the first time that Salman is going out of his way to help his co-stars. He has played an important role in shaping the careers of many stars. He has not only proved to be a great launchpad for many newbies but has also revived the careers of many actors who were going through a rough patch.

Earlier Salman has been a saviour of sorts for actor Govinda, then his younger brother Sohail Khan, actor Katrina Kaif and many more. Guess it pays to catch Sallu’s attention.
