Investigations confirmed that Sallu did go under the knife, if only on-screen. An insider from Tata Elixis (name withheld on request) informed Mirror, "Salman was shocked that the film's director, Kabir Khan, had edited out his shirtless shot. The actor called up the producer and said that if it wasn't incorporated, his fans would be disappointed and Brand Salman would take a beating. And that was the reason why the computer graphics came into play."
The video goes on to say and we quote verbatim, "A certain section of the video clearly shows that his six-pack abs are computer generated. Salman does have a flat tummy but it is not chiselled enoughfor the packs to stand out. What with Salman's health issues? We understand that maintaining an actual six-packs could prove unhealthy for him. But this revelation makes us doubt everything we see on the big screen these days."
