Bigg Boss 8 winner Gautam Gulati, who plays the henchman Girgit in Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, revealed that he hits Salman Khan by mistake while filming a fight scene. Salman’s reaction is as follows.
Gautam Gulati says he struck Salman Khan by mistake while shooting a scene for their film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. In the film, Salman plays the titular cop, while Gautam plays one of the main antagonists Rana’s henchmen, played by Randeep Hooda.
In an interview, Gautam said that he was very ‘nervous’ about filming a fight scene with Salman, and at one point clipped him by accident.
Asked if he was nervous about getting carried away in a fight scene, Gautam said in an interview, “Halka sa ho gaya tha ek baar (I hit him accidentally once).” He continued in Hindi, “I was very nervous about the fight scene, honestly. I had to learn some things. As a hero, I know what I have to do; how to fight, how to attack with style. But this time I was playing a villain, so had to learn how to take punches.”
“So once, sir got hit slightly,” Gautam continued and mimed Salman’s reaction, which was one of shock. He said that Salman was taken aback, and told him not to worry after Gautam immediately apologized. He said that after that, he made sure to keep a distance between himself and whoever he was attacking in the scene.
Gautam, who won Bigg Boss 8, which was hosted by Salman, said that being praised by one of the country’s biggest celebrities meant a lot to him. On set and later, when he watched the rushes, Salman expressed his gratitude for his work in the film, he said. Gautam’s decision to give Girgit a smile in some scenes was especially appreciated by Salman.
