Salman spotted Zaheer at his sister’s wedding festivities and was impressed with his stage performance there.
Salman welcomed the debutant in a tweet and also advised him to always be there for his loved ones. “How these kids grow up so soon… ALWAYS keep giving your best #ZAHERO no matter what.

Co-produced by Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde of Cine1 Studios, the yet to be titled film will go on floors in September this year and will be directed by Nitin Kakkar of the Filmistaan fame. Excited about the project, Nitin said, “Zaheer’s level of commitment towards his work is great. He will go a very long way.”
