01/13Salman Khan’s most iconic roles that prove he’s the ultimate Bhai of Bollywood
Salman Khan has time and again proved just how versatile an actor he is and that the Bollywood film industry is lucky to have such a huge star like him. Be it his macho look or his dancing style or his smile you will always love something particular about this Khan. With his entire share of ups and downs, he still managed to conquer and capture the hearts of people with his electrifying roles and down to earth fascination in the film industry. Here are this superstar's most iconic roles.
02/13Abhinash Singh Rathore "Tiger" in 'Ek Tha Tiger'
He was paired with Katrina Kaif and played an Indian spy in the movie. A scintillating chemistry with Katrina earned a lot of positive reactions for the film. The movie gained strong box office collections. Both Salman and Katrina gave action packed performances which once again proved Salman as a wholesome entertainer.
03/13Chulbul Pandey in 'Dabangg'
This movie tuned Salman Khan into a superstar overnight. He played the role of a corrupt cop by the name of Chulbul Pandey. The film was a package of romance, anger, humour and gave him a milestone commercial success which he was waiting for since a long time. It was declared an all-time greatest blockbuster in the second week and made 215 crores worldwide. People didn’t go to watch the film for the storyline but rather went to see their beloved Sallu Bhai in the movie.
04/13Radhey Mohan in 'Tere Naam'
No one expected Salman Khan to deliver such a sensitive performance with such an ease on the silver screen. Although it was a tragic movie, it sure gave his acting skills a new name and recognition. He played the role of Radhey Mohan and positioned himself as an emotional character which was something very different from the lover boy performances he played in the past.
05/13Sameer Rossellini in 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam'
Salman played the role of Sameer, a character who was a powerhouse of several emotions. With Salman giving one of his best standout performances and Aishwarya Rai as the leading lady, they both shared an exceptionally great chemistry onscreen, which will be enjoyed by the audiences for many more years to come.
06/13Prem and Raja in 'Judwaa'
Well, we don't really need to introduce him in this one, do we? 'Judwaa' is one of the most epic Bollywood films to ever be made and Salman Khan made sure that the film had hoards of entertainment. He played not one but two characters namely Prem and Raja. This performance is one of his greatest by far and the film is still considered a fan favourite.
07/13Prem Bhopali in 'Andaz Apna Apna'
Although Salman Khan shared the screen with Aamir Khan in this one, both actors delivered one of the best performances of their respective careers. The character Prem, shone again on the screen with all his iconic dialogues. It is also said that the filmmakers and actors were skeptical about the movie but later it turned out to be the best movies ever to be made in the Bollywood film industry.
08/13Prem Nath in 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!'
Salman extended the role of "the" lover boy Prem once again in this movie. With Madhuri Dixit as the female lead, they created a remarkable chemistry on the silver screen. The film won 5 Filmfare Awards and 1 National Award along with being the biggest Hindi movie hit in the film industry. Salman's performance was highly appreciated in the film.
09/13Prem Choudhary in 'Maine Pyaar Kiya'
This was the film that won Salman his iconic on-screen name, Prem. His sweet, innocent and romantic performance in the film was loved and appreciated by critics and audiences alike. This film is one of the highest grossing films in India and was later also dubbed in Spanish. Well, we can certainly see why everyone fell in love with Bhai in this one.
10/13Radhe/Rajveer Singh Shekhawat in 'Wanted'
Salman looked at ease with the action in the remake of 'Pokkiri' and played both the rowdy "gunda" as well as the officer’s part to perfection. The action scenes were brilliantly pulled off by him. Although 'Wanted' wasn’t as successful as 'Dabangg', it started the trend of south remakes and action entertainers in Bollywood and of course, we have Bhai to thank for that.
