Salman Khan appreciates Jai Ho cast and crew, gives them Rs. 1 lakh cheque each

Salman Khan, the Dabangg in real life, is known to do charity for different NGOs and he hasn’t forgotten the lesson that charity begins at home. The 48-year-old’s latest release Jai Ho might not be a hit like his other projects Dabangg, Bodyguard etc. but he is happy with the work done by his crew and cast. Valuing their efforts, Salman distributed Rs. 1 lakh cheque each to Jai Ho crew members from his personal account and the total distribution came around Rs. 2 crore.

A source commented on the same, “Though Jai Ho didn’t do as well as expected, Salman and Sohail were very happy with the work done by the cast and crew. It was Salman who thought of the idea of giving something to each and every member of the crew as a gesture of appreciation. Every person associated with the film was called to their office and handed the cheque. From the lightmen to the spot boys, no one was left out. No matter how small his contribution to the film. It was a small token but it put a smile on everybody’s face. Salman and his family is known to do charity. The actor always tells whoever he meets to do charity and do it directly, as he himself contributes to various social activities. The Khan brothers have learned the art of giving from home as their father, writer Salim Khan, has been associated with charitable causes for many years.”

Salman’s father Salim Khan enlightened public on this issue, “Yes Salman and Sohail have given the entire cast and crew cheques of Rs1 lakh each. They are happy with their work. Sab ko dena chahiye. If they work for you and you don’t share your money with them, that’s unfair. But it is not something to be advertised nor is it done for publicity. There’s a different joy in giving. That’s it.” The movie starred Salman in the lead role of Major Jai Agnihotri, while Tabu, Daisy Shah and Danny Denzongpa were seen in pivotal roles. The venture directed and co-produced by Sohail Khan, was written by A R Murugadoss, under the banner of Sohail Khan Productions. Salman’s forthcoming flick Kick, directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, is slated to release on July 27.
