As the Eid celebrations began across the world, some
underprivileged kids in Mumbai got an opportunity to watch an exclusive
screening of superstar Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ at a movie theatre in
Bandra in the presence of Mandana Karimi, the Iranian model who rose to fame
from Bigg Boss and shared the stage with Salman Khan. The screening was
organized by Mr. Shekhar Tolani of Sahib Realty and Mr. Rahul Kanal of I Love
Mumbai Foundation at Movietime Suburbia in Bandra. Also present as the Guest of
Honor was Shri. Rohit Singla, Deputy Commissioner of Service Tax.
Touted as one of the best performances of Salman Khan,
‘Sultan’ started its box office collection with a bang. Set in Haryana, Sultan
is a story of a middle-aged wrestler who is struggling with his personal life
and fighting to win back his lost glory in the ring for his country. Over 100
kids from Ashraya Initiative for Children sported a Sultan jersey and cheered for
their favorite superstar in the theatre.
“This was the first time I saw a movie in a theatre. The
screen was really big and my favorite hero Salman Khan was looking huge. This
is the best day of my life and I will never forget this Eid. It is the best
gift I have ever got on this joyous festival of Eid” said an overwhelmed and
equally excited kid after the movie.
‘Sultan’ released with the holy month of Ramadan ending and
over 1.6 billion Muslims around the world celebrating the end of the fasting month
with the festival of Eid. “This was a small initiative of spreading happiness
among kids and we do this every year on the occasion of Eid. We are thankful to
Mandana Karimi and Mr. Singla for accepting our invitation to share happiness
with children. Salman Khan is the favorite among the kids and these screenings
bring a smile on their face. We are committed to take this even a step further
in future and continue to spread cheerfulness every Eid”, said Mr. Shekhar Tolani,
Founder and Director of Sahib Realty.
The movie screening was followed by lunch for kids and a
food donation drive to The Ashraya Initiative for Children (AIC). The Ashraya
Initiative for Children is dedicated to improving the lives and shaping the futures
of vulnerable children with additional needs in India by advancing
educational opportunities, nurturing holistic development and building healthy
empowered communities. Mr. Shekhar Tolani has been involved with various social
activities in the past for the development of poor and successfully heads a
real estate company called Sahib Realty.
