1 Feb – Salman Khan's production company recently warned fans and the public alike not to fall victims to scammers using the company's name. On 30 January, Salman Khan Films released its statement via social media, which read, "This is to clarify that neither Mr Salman Khan nor Salman Khan Films are casting for any films currently. We have not hired any casting agents for any of our future films. Please do not trust any emails or messages received by you for this purpose." "Legal action will be taken if any party is found falsely using Mr Khan's or SKF's name in any unauthorised manner," the statement read.
This is not the first time that the actor's name had been used by con artists to scam innocent people. Last year, the company had to issue a similar warning against fake casting calls. The company was established back in 2011, and has produced movies like "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", "Dabangg 3", and "Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan" among others. It was reported that money generated from film productions is donated to the Being Human organisation.
