An overdose of Salman Khan! Now at cinemas near you!

July 24, 2014 14:07 IST

Salman KhanStar of blockbusters Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard and soon to be released Kick, Salman Khan and his films aren't exactly known for moderation.

It was in his 1997 comedy Judwaa, when the actor was last seen in a double role. 

Starting with Sajid Nadiadwala-helmed Kick, he is set to play twin characters in not one but three of his upcoming films.

While Salman will be seen in two avatars -- as the hero and a caped superhero -- in Kick, the next film -- Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo will see him in another full-fledged double role.

After Barjatya's film comes Anees Baxmi's No Entry Mein Entry, another twin appearance for the actor.

After much back and forth, Bazmee finally got Salman's dates for the sequel to his 2005 hit No Entry.

He says, "It's true that Salmanbhai has a double roles in Soorajji's film and in my film as well. 

"But I'm sure the double role in both the films will be very different from each other. Soorajji's heros are noble, ever-smiling souls while Salman bhai plays quite a mischievous character in my film."

Wouldn't said films cause an overdose of Salman in the coming future?

While Bazmee assures that that won't happen, we'd rather wait and watch.
