Salman Khan's Debut Film Was Not Supposed To Be Maine Pyaar Kiya But...

For any Bollywood fan, Salman Khan has been nothing short of an enigma. From his first film itself, he was a bonafide superstar and to date continues to rule the box-office with every film of his smashing old box-office records and establishing new.

It is surreal to imagine that the star made his debut as a leading man way back in 1989 and has ruled the industry for three decades now. As the lovable and charming Prem in Maine Pyaar Kiya, Salman entered the hearts of his fans who swear unflinching loyalty to him and it is almost impossible to envision his career shaping out in another way. While he did a supporting role in Biwi Ho To Aisi first, Maine Pyaar Kiya is considered to be his proper debut. But did you know that Maine Pyaar Kiya was actually not supposed to be his debut film?

When Salman signed Maine Pyaar Kiya he was already in talks for a film named Ayee Milan Ki Raat. While not much is known about the film or who was making it, it was going to be Salman’s launch vehicle. However, things did not go as planned and when Maine Pyaar Kiya became a sensational success, Ayee Milan Ki Raat was eventually shelved.
