'Salman's action scenes have been modified and done according to specifications taking his health in consideration,' Malaika said here during a group interaction. The 46-year-old has been battling health issues and even underwent surgery for Trigeminal Neuralgia, a facial nerve disorder.

Talking about Salman as a brand, Malaika said: 'He has worked really hard and for an actor there are many ups and downs. They keep going through those phases. One can't overlook the fact that Salman has a huge fan following, who always follow him.' Salman has made a place for himself in the action hero category with hits such as 'Wanted' and 'Dabangg'.

'Dabangg 2', a sequel to the 2010 blockbuster, again stars Sonakshi Sinha in the female lead. The sequel is like a family film - while Salman is playing the lead role, his younger brother Arbaaz is making his directorial debut with the actioner. He is also producing it.
