Salman to promote new talent through his ventures on TV and web

Salman Khan is not only the most bankable star of Bollywood, but he is a successful producer also. After bankrolling films like Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tubelight under his production house, Salman Khan Films, the actor is now foraying into television and digital space. Through his television and digital ventures, the actor is planning to provide a platform for budding writers and directors. If anyone has a script or a unique idea, he can drop it at his Bandra office in Mumbai.

"Apart from films, Salman is looking to venture into other avenues with his production house. Since he has been associated with the small screen [Bigg Boss] for many years, he understands the importance of other media. With this initiative, he wants to generate employment for those who deserve a platform," a source reveals.


The superstar confirms the news, saying, "We are looking into it (hiring new talent) actively. There are so many talented people, including some of my friends, but it's not possible to get them work in films. Even if they do get to work in movies, their role isn't significant. That's why we have started a television production firm. We want to generate employment for these talented people, and give them an opportunity to make it big."

Salman Khan’s Tiger Zinda Hai releases on 22nd December.
