Gautam Gulati won the eighth season of Bigg Boss in 2014, and after that, there was a surprising scarcity of work. This is when Salman Khan came to aid and helped him during this time of his struggle. A three-film deal with Ekta Kapoor, breaking the contract with Balaji, and of course the Dabangg star standing by him, all was revealed by Gulati himself in a recent interview with Navbharat Times.
First speaking about Kapoor and the contract he signed with Balaji Motion Pictures, the actor stated, "I can never forget the day when Ekta Kapoor offered me a three-film deal. However, my role in the very first film was cut. My next two films didn't start and people wanted to see me. I kept calling the concerned persons but in vain. After that, I had no other option but to break the contract with Balaji." He then went on to talk about his meeting with Khan and what happened next.
