  • Salman Wants 'Manjhi...' To Be A 'big Hit'
Superstar Salman Khan has wished Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the team of "Manjhi- The Mountain Man" best of luck and hopes that the movie becomes a "big hit".
 
Salman, who has also worked with the "Gangs of Wasseypur" actor in films like "Kick" in 2014 and "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" in 2015, which minted over Rs.300 crores in India, took to micro-blogging website Twitter to wish the actor and the whole team goodluck.
