The stardom Salman Khan enjoys has the power to even overshadow Mila Jovovich, but the superstar had his own fan boy moment when Jackie Chan visited the country for promotion of his upcoming film "Kung Fu Yoga".
Chan was in Mumbai last week and promoted the Indo-Chinese production along with co-actor Sonu Sood, and Salman, who was supposed to shoot for his upcoming film "Tubelight" till late in the night wrapped up the shoot to meet the action-star.
"Salman always wanted to meet Chan. He was shooting for 'Tubelight' and he was supposed to pack up in the night but he asked people to pack up early as he wanted to meet Jackie Chan," Sonu told PTI.
Salman, 51, who worked with Sonu in "Dabangg," has been great friends with the actor since then. The actor says Salman is as happy and excited for the film as he is.
"He is very sweet. He gets very excited whenever something good happens in my life. I remember he was very happy when me, Jackie and he were sitting and chatting. He told Jackie that I'm his one of the most favourite people in the industry. and whenever something good happens in my life he feels as happy as I do.
"Those words were very special and at the same time they motivate you in life to work harder," Sonu said.
Salman had shared the first trailer of the Stanley Tong-directed movie on his Twitter handle and thanked Chan for giving opportunity to his 'Chedi Singh'.
The superstar today shared a cute video on social media featuring him, Sonu and Chan.
The three actors are seen saying "Hindi-Chini bhai-bhai" in the clip.
Starring actresses Amyra Dastur, Disha Patani, "Kung Fu Yoga" is releasing this Friday.
