“I have a dream to present this carpet to Salman Khan personally. I will proceed to Mumbai within a couple of days,” Hussain told UNI.

Hussain said: “It took me 10 days to write the 'Talim'… to get the perfect picture of my favorite actor."

Covid-19 proved to be a hurdle but Hussain persisted. “Since the effect of Covid has declined, I decided to make it public."

Hussain keeps watching Salman's movies. "Everybody knows he is the best actor in Hindi cinema,” he added. (UNI)
