Made for Rs 55 crore, this film was Salman Khan's first to cross Rs 200 crore, yet it faced controversy due to..., name is...
In 2014, Salman Khan's movie Kick was released. The spy-thriller became a huge hit and minted Rs 200 crore. But did you know that during the shoot of the film, a major chunk was supposed to be filmed in the UK? Half of the unit had already reached the UK. However, when it was Salman's turn, his visa was denied.
According to reports, the visa was rejected because Britain's rules prohibit the entry of any person convicted of a crime in any court. Salman Khan was convicted in two pending hunting cases for killing a chinkara.
Another interesting aspect of Salman Khan's blackbuck case is that Jagdeep Dhankhar, who recently resigned from the position of Vice President of India, helped Salman secure bail. For the unversed, Jagdeep Dhankhar was the counsel for Bollywood actor Salman Khan and the other accused in the 1998 blackbuck poaching case. Salman Khan's Film Still Became a Hit
Despite this hurdle, Salman proved his mettle. Made on a budget of Rs 140 crore, Kick grossed Rs 372.50 crore worldwide at the box office. The movie was produced in collaboration with Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and UTV Motion Pictures.
The film earned Rs 26 crore on its first day, which was the second-biggest non-holiday opening at the time. The film earned Rs 82 crore in its first weekend and Rs 155 crore in its first week alone.
It became Salman Khan's first film to enter the Rs 200 crore club and was one of the biggest blockbusters of 2014. Overseas, especially in the Gulf, US, Canada, UK, and Pakistan, the film performed exceptionally well.

'I had tears in my eyes': Salman Khan opens up on what happened on the sets of Maine Pyar Kiya
Salman Khan has been a part of Indian cinema for over three decades, but even he remembers the exact moment when he truly felt like an actor. In an interview with Hello! Indo-Arabia, Salman looked back at the emotional turning point that came during the shoot of Maine Pyar Kiya . He was just 18 at the time and filming the now-iconic song Kabootar Ja Ja Ja when it suddenly hit him — this was his role, his moment, and his future. 'I had tears in my eyes,' he shared, admitting that until then, he'd always imagined stars like Jackie Shroff or Anil Kapoor in such roles. That was the day he finally believed he belonged. Interestingly, Maine Pyar Kiya almost had a different leading man. Actor Deepak Tijori recently revealed in an interview with Bollywood Bubble that he was one of the two final contenders for the role of Prem. While he was initially told he got the part, the final decision came down to one unexpected factor — charm. Director Sooraj Barjatya later explained to Deepak that the women in his family were instantly drawn to Salman's boyish appeal and on-screen innocence. While Deepak was praised for his performance, he agreed with the reasoning and gracefully stepped aside. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Indonesia: Unsold Sofas Prices May Surprise You (Prices May Surprise You) Sofas | Search Ads Search Now Undo Now, decades later, Salman is gearing up for a very different kind of role — one rooted in real-life heroism. His upcoming film, Battle of Galwan , will depict the intense and deadly 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh's Galwan Valley. The film, set at a staggering altitude of over 15,000 feet, aims to showcase the sheer grit and bravery of Indian soldiers who fought without guns — only using rudimentary weapons like sticks and stones. The project promises to be a gritty tribute to modern warfare, highlighting the raw courage and sacrifice that defined one of the most significant border confrontations in recent Indian history.
