Remember Zubair Khan from Bigg Boss 11, who filed an FIR against Bollywood superstar and show host Salman Khan back in 2017? In a recent interview, Zubair revealed that the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor offered him a job on his film Sikandar.
In a recent conversation with Instant Bollywood, Zubair Khan revealed that when Salman Khan found out he was out of work, he offered him a job in the production department of his film Sikandar. Zubair shared,"Dekhiye Salman sir ko pata chala ke mujhe kaam ka issue hai, problem hai aur mujhe kaam koi nahi de raha hai, toh Sajid-Wajid bhai ke taraf se Sajid bhai ka mujhe call aaya, phir unhone mujhe bulaya aur Sajid Nadiadwala sir Sikandar ke joh producer hain, toh unke yahan mujhe mauka mila, apna joh production skill dikhane ka. Phir maine do schedule mein kaam kiya, aur mujhe paisa mila."
(When Salman sir came to know I was struggling and not getting any work, I received a call from Sajid bhai (of Sajid-Wajid). He called me and gave me an opportunity to work with Sajid Nadiadwala sir, the producer of Sikandar. I got a chance to showcase my production skills. I worked on two schedules of the film and was paid for it.)
He further added, "I worked as a production controller, production executive. It was a great experience of shooting in Hyderabad and Mumbai. After working on Sikandar, my life is improving and is getting better. Logon ko bhi laga ke ye kaam karne waala banda hai, ye faltu giri karne waala banda nahi hai, joh meri image ban gayi thi after Bigg Boss, ke ye aisa hai waisa hai gunda type hai... Then people also realised that I'm not what was shown in Bigg Boss. I come from an Advertising background.
For the uninitiated, on October 2017, Zubair Khan filed a complaint against Salman Khan, accusing him of verbal abuse during the reality show. He first went to Antop Hill police station, but was directed to the Lonavala City police station, where a non-cognisable offence was officially registered. However, as per reports, in April 2019, Zubair Khan submitted an application to withdraw the case against Salman Khan in the Judicial Magistrate First Class Court in Vadgaon Maval. He stated that he no longer wished to pursue the matter any further.
