thebalanced.newsDaboo Malik Denies Being Replaced by Salman Khan in Maine Pyaar Kiya Amid Son's Claims
Singer-composer Amaal Mallik claimed his father, Daboo Malik, was initially cast as the lead in Sooraj Barjatya's film Maine Pyaar Kiya but was replaced by Salman Khan. Daboo Malik refuted this, stating he worked on a different shelved project, Sawan Jhoom Utha, produced by the same banner. He noted similarities between the two films but denied being replaced. Amaal maintained his stance, suggesting Daboo's denial stems from respect for Salman Khan, while Daboo called the claim a misunderstanding.
