The relationship that began between Salman Khan and Sudeep on the sets of Dabangg 3 has graduated from the two being just fellow actors. Salman paid a surprise visit to Sudeep’s house when he drove down to Bengaluru with Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan. The Bollywood superstar also had a gift for him — a BMW 5 — and spent time with his family members, making it even more special for Sudeep.

Salman reportedly enjoyed long conversations with Sudeep’s father (Sanjeev). The trio even had a photo taken to remember the moment.

Sudeep took to Twitter account to express his gratitude.

Sudeep worked with Salman Khan in Dabangg 3, directed by Prabhudheva, in which the former played the antagonist, Bali Singh. According to a source, the duo has developed a strong bond, and Salman now considers Sudeep as one of his brothers.

Sudeep is currently busy with his upcoming project, Kotigobba 3, directed by Shiva Karthik and produced by Surappa Babu. The actor has confirmed his next project, which will be helmed by Anup Bhandari and produced by Manjunath Gowda. Meanwhile, Sudeep has also announced his comeback to direction with a project which is likely to take off by the end of the year.
