Bigg Boss famed Gautam Gulati, opens up about landing in Salman Khan's film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai with the help of none other than Salman himself. In his latest interview with a popular website, Gautam revealed that Salman played a big role in his casting. Since Prabhudeva and the assistant director thought he was 'too chocolaty' to play the villain, Gautam said, "When I first went to the set, they thought ye 'ladka thoda chocolaty hai ye dark role kaise kar payega?"
"I could see from his reaction, though I was already selected because Salman sir made sure I was there in the film," he added. But then he gave an audition where he played Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight Rises and everyone liked it. "When I started performing in English, they loved it straight away and then asked if I could do it in Hindi. I said give me five minutes, let me convert the dialogues into Hindi. Then I wrote the dialogues, and I was all ready," added Gautam.
Gautam Gulati was the winner of Bigg Boss 8 where Salman Khan was the host of the show. "When Prabhu sir also said yes, Salman called me later, hugged me, and said good job, this is what we need to do. Honestly, Salman sir ki jo personality hai badi babbar sher jaisi hai. Jab wo baithe hote hai toh aisa lagta hai ki jungle mei babbar sher baitha hai, he has this personality. So of course, darr toh unse lagta hi hai. Har bande ko darr lagta hai," concluded Gautam.
