The 49-year-old actor, who has worked with Nawazuddin in films like Kick and the recent 300-crore club entrant Bajrangi Bhaijaan, hopes Manjhi, which released this Friday, will be a big success.

"Kick and bajrangi bhaijaan k baad nawaz ki film Manjhi release hogayi hai aaj (After Kick and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Nawaz's next film Manjhi has released) wishing @Nawazuddin_S and the team all the best and a big hit," Salman wrote on Twitter.

Shatrughan Sinha wrote on social media, "Proud of this inspiring story of a son of the soil of Gaya, the great land of my ancestors,"

He added, "A dynamic, realistic and timely film of Bihari pride and the original, strong DNA of a son of Bihar." He hailed the decision of state governments including that of Nitish Kumar in his native Bihar, to provide tax rebate to the movie.

Radhika Apte is lovely and laudable. Wish roaring success," Sinha, who himself has acted in more than 200 movies in Hindi and other languages, tweeted.
