Some of his well-received films include “Andaz Apna Apna”, “Mujhse Shaadi Karogi”, “Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya?”, “Partner”, “No Entry”, “Saajan” and “Hum Aapke Hain Koun...?” among others.

Salman will next feature in “Battle of Galwan”, which is based on one of India's most brutal battles fought without a single bullet being fired. It was fought over 15,000 feet above sea level.

The movie is directed by Apoorva Lakhia of “Shootout at Lokhandwala” fame and is set to release in 2026.
