He met Salman Khan, who expressed a desire to work with him and got a call from the team of 'Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai' the next day. That's what actor Gautam Gulati said when asked how he bagged the Prabhudheva-directorial, which released on Eid.
Gautam Gulati, who plays a baddie in the Salman Khan-starrer 'Radhe', revealed that he bagged the character 'Girgit' on the superstar's recommendation. "This would not have been possible if Salman sir was not there. We met randomly and he hugged me and he thought we should work together, he asked me if I would play a negative role. I could not believe it. I told him that all my favourite heroes are the negative ones and the very next day, his team called me and it was done," he says.
