#CatchFlashBack: From Akshay Kumar's exit to Salman Khan's entry in Lai Bhaari

How did Salman Khan come on board for the film?

While many might think Salman Khan's cameo in this action entertainer was planned, in reality it was an unplanned sequence, which in retrospect turned out to be great for the film.

When the unit of Lai Bhaari was at Hyderabad, Salman Khan was in the city for the shooting of Jai Ho. On coming to know that Riteish was shooting for a Marathi film in the neighbourhood, Salman went over to watch. He met Riteish on set and insisted on helping in whichever way possible.

While everyone was still trying to figure out how to handle this unexpected situation, Salman reportedly told the director: ''I want to act in this film, you figure out something.''

Recalling the incident later, Nishikant told Catch, "It was very funny, you know. People are going out of the way to cast Salman in their films and he comes to our sets and is like 'I want to act.' We were lucky."
