I only launch deserving people: Salman Khan

Over the years, Salman Khan has become something of a godfather for industry newcomers but the superstar, who is now introducing Mohnish Bahl's daughter Pranutan and Zaheer Iqbal in "Notebook", says he gives chance only to deserving candidates.

The actor has launched Sunil Shetty's daughter Athiya, Aditya' Pancholi's son Suraj, his brother-in-law Ayush Sharma and Warina Hussain in recent years.

"I launch deserving candidates, not anybody," Salman said at the trailer launch of "Notebook", which he has produced.

"She (Pranutan) did a screen test and she is on. She is amazing in the film. She is so good with her lines. He (Zaheer) was unable to get the right dance step. He rehearsed for five hours and next day he got it right. He is hard working."
