What Salman said
In the video that has caught the attention of many users on Reddit, Salman was on stage with Ayaan at the song launch which was hosted by Kris Fade. As he went ahead and appreciated Salman and the entire Khan family for showing so much support to Ayaan, the actor immediately said, “That's what nepotism is!” Salman's lighthearted response left everyone in splits, including Ayaan, who stood right beside him.
Salman also added, “His (Ayaan) parents, good producers. Both the kids, Alizeh and Ayaan." The audience cheered for him as he then launched the song. Ayaan is Atul Agnihotri and Alvira Khan Agnihotri's son. Alvira is Salman's sister.
Their previous collaboration
Earlier Salman and Ayaan had collaborated on the song You are Mine. The music video featured Salman with Ayaan, who rendered the rap portions of the track. The song was composed by Vishal Mishra.
On the work front, Salman will be seen next in Sikandar. A new poster of the film was released a few days ago. The film stars Salman Khan in an action-packed avatar alongside Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sharman Joshi, Prateik Babbar, and Sathyaraj. It is directed by AR Murugadoss, who is best known for directing Tamil and Hindi films such as Ghajini, Thuppakki, Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty and Sarkar. The film is scheduled to release in theatres on Eid 2025.
