Does this surprise anyone?
Probably not, since Salman has several times mentioned this in the media whenever he has to explain why he is launching so and so.
This time it’s not just about anyone, it’s about his brother Sohail!
At the launch of Sohail’s debut film ‘ Maine Dil Tujhko Diya’, Salman said a few words about his brother Sohail. He mentioned many times how much he and the family loved Sohail and then he also mentioned how they were all wondering why Sohail didn’t become an actor sooner since he was a good-looking boy.
Here, hear it from Sallu Bhai himself:

Could it be Salman thinks he got acting offers because he’s good-looking?
According to Bhai, his “hard work” means body-building!
But he does think he became a superstar by chance and luck, and not by hard work like the two other Khans! So in his mind if he can become a star, anyone can! That’s why he keeps on encouraging any Tom, Dick and Harry and even spends his money on launching just about anyone based on emotional reasons! To be fair, it is his money so…But then what happens after the launch? They struggle to find other projects! Let’s not talk about Katrina because he didn’t launch her, he relaunched her and things worked well in her favour. But what about the others? And what about the others he’s about to launch and relaunch?
Another interesting quote from Salman talking about how much money they lost in the making of ‘Hello Brother’. Sounds like Salman’s earnings go to the family and this is why he was reminiscing on the amount of money they lost making this film.

Fun fact, ‘Hello Brother’ was made as an attempt to relaunch Arbaaz’s career as a hero in Bollywood.

Sohail did a couple of films, some produced by others before he gave up on acting and focused on producing and directing films starring Salman. He was also in charge of the last concert tour that Salman did. After Reshma Shetty stepped out of Salman’s professional life, he was back to working with his family! The rest, you all know it!
