John Travolta – The American actor

For those unversed, John Travolta is an American actor who made his acting debut in the 1970s with the sitcom Welcome Back, Kotter. He starred in the films like Carrie (1976), Saturday Night Fever (1977), Grease (1978), and Urban Cowboy (1980). He was also seen alongside veteran actor Al Pacino and Viggo Mortensen in filmmaker-playwright David Mamet’s Assassination.

Salman Khan’s Work Front

On the other hand, Salman Khan was last seen in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. The film was a disaster at the box office even though it managed to earn around 175 crores. Next, the actor is gearing up for the release of Tiger 3. The film is a part of YRF’s ambitious spy universe in which Salman will be reprising his role as RAW agent Avinash Singh Rathore aka Tiger. Meanwhile, Katrina Kaif will return as Zoya. Speculations are also rife that Emraan Hashmi could be seen playing an antagonist in the film.
