Nutan’s grandaughter to star in Salman’s upcoming film

MUMBAI: Bollywood's Mentor No.1, superstar Salman Khan, has turned godfather again.

After helping the careers of Katrina Kaif, Jacqueline Fernandez, Daisy Shah, among others, Salman is all set to launch his good friend Mohnish Behl's daughter Pranutan Bahl (above). The girl's mother is former Bollywood actress Ekta Sohini.

Reports said that Salman is set to launch his costar Mohnish Behl's daughter Pranutan, the granddaughter of yesteryear's iconic actress, the late Nutan. The 25-year- old Pranutan is named after her famous grandmother and looks like her in some pictures that went viral recently.

Salman will co-produce the film under his banner Salman Khan Films ( SKF) that also launched Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty in ‘Hero'.

Mohnish Behl starred with Salman Khan in his debut 'Maine Pyar Kiya', directed by Sooraj Barjatya, in which Behl was seen in an impressive negative role. Salman and Mohnish Behl starred together in many other films, including ' Hum Aapke Hain Koun..!' and ' Hum Saath Saath Hain' - both Rajshri Films productions like ' Maine Pyar Kiya' - where he played the doting older brother to Salman Khan.

Reports say Mohnish Behl was one of the people who recommended Salman for 'Maine Pyar Kiya', which established Salman as a leading star. It looks like Salman is just returning the favour.

Salman loves to take charge of the careers of newcomers in the industry, and also old friends like Armaan Kohli who he recommended for a stint on his reality show Bigg Boss.
