It was Salman Khan’s faith in Zaheer Iqbal that landed him Notebook (2019), thus opening the doors of the Hindi film industry for him. But the wait for his second project ran long. As Double XL released earlier this month, over three years after his maiden film, Iqbal acknowledges that the wait left him with a few lessons. “You have to be a saleable star for [people] to invest money in you, or someone to have faith in you that you will become a star. It sometimes takes time to find that person,” he reflects.
