Salman Khan's character Pavan Kumar Chaturvedi or Bajrangi as he is affectionately called, in the Eid release Bajrangi Bhaijaan (BB), a family entertainer that also has Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, belongs to a wrestler's family.
However the Bollywood superstar is not a wrestler. Confused? Director Kabir Khan has added an endearing trait to his leading man's character. While Salman belongs to a family of wrestlers, he is not shown as one because he is ticklish and hyper-sensitive to touch. In fact, whenever anyone attempts to touch Bajrangi in the film, he starts laughing. Kabir says "Pavanis the most charming screen character of Salman seen till date. After his lover-boy screen character Prem that became iconic, this one will go on to steal everyone's hearts. We wanted to give him an endearing trait in our film. When you watch BB, you will understand it."
Bajrangi Bhaijaan produced by Salman Khan Films and Rockline Venkatesh; released worldwide by Eros International comes July 17.
