Pulkit Samrat Shares The Advice Salman Khan Gave Him Before His Bollywood Debut

While chatting with Variety India recently, Pulkit Samrat confessed that like every newcomer, he too was anxious before this debut film’s release. Sharing how Salman Khan’s words changed his perspective on stardom, Pulkit said, “I was incredibly anxious, wondering how the film and my performance would be received by the audience. Salman bhai just looked at me and said, ‘Pulkit, I am Salman Khan. Even I don’t have the guarantee of my next Friday. So, who do you think you are? What are you going to achieve by stressing about it?'”

The actor admitted that Salman’s advice made him realise that if someone like Bhaijaan could not guarantee box office success, then there was no reason for him to worry or stress over it.

Praising Salman’s dedication, Pulkit Samrat contiuned, “He eats, sleeps and breathes films 24/7. Even on a lucky day when he gets just three hours of sleep, he is constantly thinking about his projects—whether it’s spotting the perfect person for a character or brainstorming a massive action sequence that the audience will love in theatres. Seeing that level of commitment made me realise that if I want to achieve even 50% of what he has, I need to work 500% harder.”

Salman & Pulkit’s Upcoming Projects

On the professional front, Salman Khan will soon play the lead in the upcoming war drama Maatrubhumi. Produced by Salma Khan under the banner of Salman Khan Films, the film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia.

He will also star in producer Dil Raju’s next. Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, this project stars Nayanthara as the female lead. Salman has confirmed an Eid 2027 release for the project.
