Actor Shahid Kapoor says his character in the forthcoming film 'Phata Poster Nikla Hero' is a fan of Bollywood star Salman Khan, who has also done a cameo in the movie

"There's a little scene in the film where Salman sir is there... Salman sir was kind enough to do a special appearance in the film," the 32-year-old said.

'Phata Poster Nikla Hero' is directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, who had earlier roped in Salman for a special appearance in his film 'Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani' as well.

Talking about his character's fascination with Salman, Shahid said, "He (Shahid's character) is a very big fan of Salman Khan and in one scene we have even worn a 'Being Human' t-shirt and in another scene, the character has gone to buy vegetables with his mother and his hands are full and he is eating a banana standing and watching the poster of 'Dabangg 2'."

'Phata Poster Nikla Hero' also stars Ileana D'Cruz and is slated to release on August 23.
