Being Bhai! Salman Khan to open 300 gyms across India by next year

It's no secret that Salman Khan is a fitness freak. In fact, it's hard to recall when was the last time that he didn't go shirtless in a movie. Recently, the actor has been posting a lot of pictures and videos of him doing workouts. Now, 'Bhai' is set to inspire others by opening a chain of gyms across India. According to news agency IANS, Salman Khan is set to launch a SK-27 Gym Franchise, and plans to open 300 gyms across India by 2020. After his Being Human chain and Being Strong Fitness Equipment, Salman will launch his own chain of gyms and fitness centres, read a statement issued on behalf of the actor.

The aim of SK-27 is to make every individual fit and healthy, apart from creating job opportunities for fitness trainers and entrepreneurs while spreading the message of the Fit India movement. In April, Salman Khan launched his fitness equipment brand Being Strong, which is said to have been installed in over 175 gyms across India.

On the work front, Salman Khan last release Bharat was a massive box office success. The film, that also starred Katrina Kaif, Sunil Grover and Jackie Shroff in lead roles, has earned over Rs 200 crore so far. It continues to do well at the box office despite competition from Kabir Singh and Article 15.

In Bharat, Salman Kahn portrays a man whose life runs parallel to India’s journey since independence. This is the third time when the actor has collaborated with Ali Abbas Zafar. The two had earlier worked on Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai, both of which proved to be massive successes. 

Salman Khan will next be seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah in which he co-stars against Alia Bhatt. This would be followed by the third installment in the Dabbang franchise.
