Tagging Salman, the actor added in his post, “I have no words to express my gratitude for the grace and kindness he has shown towards Genelia and me. He was part of my debut Marathi film ‘Lai Bhaari’ and now he is a part of my debut directorial film. Love you Bhau.”

Salman Khan played ‘Bhau’ in a special appearance in Riteish’s debut Marathi film Lai Bhaari, which also featured his wife, actor Genelia D'Souza, in a cameo appearance in a song. The film, which also starred Sharad Kelkar, Radhika Apte, Tanvi Azmi, and Aaditi Pohankar, was released in theatres in July 2014. Riteish’s directorial debut Ved will also mark the Marathi film debut of Genelia. Riteish himself also stars in the film, apart from Jiya Shankar.
