Nobody does it better than Salman Khan when it comes to introducing new faces in the Bollywood show business. And here he is back with the latest member of his clan – Zaheer Iqbal. Yesterday, Salman tweeted an old picture of a boy clinging to his arms and he asked his fellow fans to keep guessing who the little chap was. Today, the word has been dropped. It is Zaheer. He even shared the picture of the young lad along with a sweet and motivational message.

Salman wrote, “How these kids grow up so soon... ALWAYS keep giving your best #ZAHERO. no matter what. Stand tall and always bend backwards for those u love and those who love u, Yeh yaad rakhna that the most important thing in life is Respect and Loyalty.”

Salman is all game for bringing new talent into the limelight and certainly, he never fails at it. He sure believes in them and Zaheer is no different. Zaheer doesn’t hail from a film family but his father and Salman have known each other for years. During one random wedding function that Salman happened to attend - Zaheer was performing on the stage. And the rest, as they say, is history. Salman was delighted by Zaheer’s act that he decided then and there that he would launch this terrific performer into the movies.

The young lad just got lucky. Salman is all set to launch his new apprentice into the showbiz under his own banner Salman Khan Films. The film will be produced along with Cine1 Studios of Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde. Zaheer will start rolling in September this year under the direction of Nitin Kakkar of Filmistaan fame. Though, the flick is yet to be titled.

Salman has been giving all the attention to ‘Zahero’, as he has named him, that he needs to prepare for his role in this film, which is a love story based in the snow-clad valleys of Kashmir. Wondering about his leading lady? Well, the wait continues for a couple of days until Salman announces her name.

A proud mentor to ‘Zahero’, Salman said, “Zaheer is made for the movies. He is a fantastic actor and a born star.” Nitin Kakkar, who will be helming the project, also shares the same amount of excitement for the journey ahead. “Zaheer’s level of commitment towards his work is great. He will go a very long way,” he said.

Well, Salman has rarely failed. After such a smashing entry, we wonder what will unfold ahead for Zaheer!
