Salman Khan shares a great rapport with Nawazuddin Siddiqui and the superstar has wished the critically acclaimed actor and the team of "Manjhi- The Mountain Man" "all the best."

The 49-year-old actor, who has worked with Nawazuddin in films like "Kick" and the recent 300 crore club entrant "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", hopes "Manjhi", which released yesterday, will be a big success.

"Kick and bajrangi bhaijaan k baad nawaz ki film Manjhi release hogayi hai aaj (After Kick and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Nawaz's next film Manjhi has released) wishing @Nawazuddin_S and the team all the best and a big hit," Salman wrote on Twitter.
 

"Manjhi - The Mountain Man" is based on the life of Dashrath Manjhi, a poor labourer hailing from Gehlaur village in Gaya district widely known as the Mountain Man.

He had laid a road through the mountain using only hammer and chisel in memory of his wife who passed away without medical treatment as travel to the nearest hospital took a lot of time due to the mountain.

Directed by Ketan Mehta the biopic sees Nawazuddin in the role of Dashrath Manjhi, while Radhika Apte plays his wife.
