Salman Khan's career could be split into two parts- Pre Wanted and Post Wanted. The pre-2009 Salman Khan was only Salman Khan, the media and the paparazzi were yet to stuff his ears with the screams of 'Bhai Bhai.' His performances were tilted more towards drama and comedy. So on one hand, if we had sincere attempts like Partner and Jaan-E-Mann, some were major misfires like Marigold and Yuvvraaj.
Came a certain Prrabhudeva in his career with a certain remake of a blockbuster South Indian film. After Aamir Khan's Ghajini, this was the next remake in the offering. Khan played the role of a charming undercover officer under the disguise of a crook. He was named Radhe, and it can only be ironic that the film that revived his career back in 2003 as well also had him play a man called Radhe (Tere Naam).
