Another 10 days to go before Salman Khan makes an entry in slow motion in and as Bajrangi Bhaijaan but we already have a real life incident that seems to have borrowed heavily from the film’s plot playing out in Kashmir.

According to reports, the Indian Army has on Sunday handed back a 11-year-old boy from Pakistani Kashmir who accidentally crossed the Line of Control (LoC).

Army officials in Tangdhar sector handed over 11-year-old Sameer Kayani, son of Mohammad Rafiq of Laswa Athmuqam in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, who had inadvertently crossed the LoC two days ago, to Pakistan Army officials

Coincidentally, the story of Salman Khan’s upcoming film Bajrangi Bhaijaan revolves around a young Pakistani girl who loses her way at the Indo-Pak border and finds herself in India. The little girl is found by Salman aka Bajrangi Bhaijaan who then takes it upon himself to reunite her with her family in Pakistan against all odds.

Surprisingly, the makers of Bajrangi Bhaijaan haven’t yet latched on to the incident to publicize their film, after all how often does a strikingly similar real life parallel make news just days before your film is about to hit screens?
