Watch Salman Khan on Producing Notebook - Official Trailer Launch
Through the years, Salman Khan has become something of a godfather for industry newcomers but the superstar, who is introducing Mohnish Bahl's daughter Pranutan and Zaheer Iqbal at Notebook, says that he gives chance only to candidates. The actor has launched Sunil Shetty's daughter Athiya, Aditya' Pancholi's son Suraj, his brother-in-law Ayush Sharma and Warina Hussain in recent years. "I launch deserving candidates, not anybody," Salman said at the trailer launching of Notebook, which he has produced. "She (Pranutan) did a screen test and she is on. She is amazing in the movie.

Zaheer said he is nervous about his introduction but is convinced that he has done a good job. "It hit me today morning th at the world will see my work, they will get to see how good or bad I am.
