Anees Bazmee recalls Salman Khan's big-hearted gesture towards his son

During a recent interview with Siddharth Kannan, Anees Bazmee recalled that when he was shooting for Ready along with Salman Khan in Sri Lanka, a Cricket tournament was going on. The filmmaker said that his son who was 10 years old at that time was with him and wanted to play with Yuvraj Singh and Shoaib Akhtar.

Anees who was trying to convince his son that this wasn't possible was surprised when Salman got it done for him. What happened was that Salman overheard the conversation and made the arrangements over the call.

Yuvraj and Shoaib arrived along with more cricketers to play cricket with the filmmaker's son at midnight. “In the lobby of the hotel, there was a cricket match with my son batting, Shoaib Akhtar bowling, and Bhai fielding. Imagine how much love they must have had for Salman to show up at midnight to play cricket with a child. Who else could have pulled it off?” said Anees.
