Hanuman Jayanti special: Hanuman Chalisa in 'London Dreams' and other times when Salman Khan remembered 'Bajrangi'

When Salman Khan's look was first unveiled, the teaser poster had a pendant which had the gada of Hanuman. Of course the pendant created such a sensation that it is now available even to the public.

In fact the first song to be unveiled, 'Selfie Le Le Re', also had various Hanuman references. Even though the song was quirky, it had children dressed up as Hanuman and saw Salman Khan praying to Lord Hanuman.

All of those who have read Hanuman's story would be aware that he actually picked up Dronagiri Parbat (mountain) in order to heal Lord Ram's brother Laxman. Similarly, Salman Khan picks up Munni in the movie 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' in order to protect her from the crowds and help her reach a safe destination i.e. Munni's house.

Salman Khan even feeds a monkey in the movie. He respects monkeys. For the uninitiated, Lord Hanuman was also a form of monkey.

The Hanuman factor began with 'London Dreams'. In the movie, Salman Khan recites Hanuman Chalisa. He is supposed to play an instrument in his friend Ajay Devgn's band. However Ajay cannot sing mid-performance and Salman is expected to sing the song 'Barso Yaaron'. He ends it with Hanuman Chalisa.

Watch the song here:

Salman Khan also lent his voice for the animated movie 'Hanuman Da Dumdaar'. That was the first time the actor actually dubbed for an animated movie.
