TTe book’s title says it all. A biographic­al journey of Bollywood’s superstar Salman Khan (aka Bhai). Right from his modelling days for soft drinks to his hardcore larger-thanlife Dabangg avatar, the book carefully peels the many layers of Salman’s personalit­y. It gives us a peek into the unknown facets of the superstar’s life. His fan followons ing is of epic proportion­s although he courts controvers­y easily. You can like him or hate him, but you can’t ignore Salman Khan – a name that’s synonymous with box office hits and Being Human. It doesn’t matter if you are sitting in a mofussil theater or a luxurious boutique multiplex, as long as Bhai is singing, dancing, bashing and romancing the damsel in distress. The book offers new perspectiv­es on cinema and Salman’s superstar society.
