After releasing the first trailer and song of his upcoming film, Bollywood superstar Salman Khan recently began shooting for his next. The film marks his collaboration with Sooraj Barjatya after almost 15 years.

The last time they did a film together was in 1999 when he played one of the leads in 'Hum Saath Saath Hain'.

Salman has allotted a chunk of dates to this film as he wants to give his best, as his association with Barjatya's go back a long way.

It was under their banner that Salman made his debut with 'Maine Pyar Kiya'. In order to give the film a headstart, Salman made sure that the mahurat ceremony was grand.

The mahurat was scheduled for an early morning slot. It was being shot on the outskirts of Mumbai. In order to reach on time, Salman decided to stay back his Panvel Farmhouse which is very close to the shooting venue. He stayed back in the night, reported on the sets on time and made sure everything went as planned. 

His film's co-star Sonam Kapoor couldn't be present on the mahurat as she was busy with other commitments. However, she will be joining Salman as soon as the full-fledged shooting starts.
