Piyush Mishra was the first choice for Salman Khan’s role in ‘Maine Pyar Kiya’

Salman Khan is all set to return to the big screen with the much-awaited Tiger 3. The famous Bollywood action star started his journey in films as a romantic hero in Sooraj Barjatya’s Maine Pyar Kiya. Interestingly, Salman was not the first choice for this film. This blockbuster was originally presented to multi-talented actor, singer, lyricist, composer and screenwriter Piyush Mishra.

In an interview with Lallantop, Piyush Mishra shared an interesting anecdote from his past. He said he was in his final year at the National School of Drama (NSD) when Sooraj Barjatya’s father Rajkumar Barjatya approached him for a meeting at Rajshri’s office in Prabhaldevi, Mumbai.
