Why so interested in Sarabjit, Salman?

New Delhi: Being Human comes naturally to Salman, but is Dabangg Khan's sudden interest in Sarabjit Singh, an Indian on death row in Pakistan, a promotional gimmick for his upcoming film, Ek Tha Tiger?

Salman's Ek Tha Tiger and Sarabjit's story share a similar backdrop. The first trailer of Ek Tha Tiger shows the ISI-RAW struggle and there are no points for guessing where the film is headed as far as the plot goes. Sarabjit Singh has been sentenced for his alleged involvement in the four blasts in 1990 that killed 14 Pakistanis.

On Friday, superstar Salman Khan urged the people of Pakistan, the government and President Zardari to help him in his efforts to free Sarabjit Singh. He tweeted:

He further went on to launch an online petition for Sarabjit's release. The actor also met Sarabjit's sister and daughters on July 2, on the sets of Dabangg 2 at Mehboob Studio.
