No, Mr Brawn Khan isn’t endorsing jockeys. But he will be playing jockey for a day. Salman, who incidentally has been riding since childhood, will be taking part in a race at Mumbai’s Mahalakshmi Racecourse to promote his new film Veer. The question, of course, is whether Grade A jockeys will go slow so that our VIP can finally win. Or maybe some camera tricks, if not a heavy-breathing contest, will pull it off. After all, the fact that his poor horse would be carrying a jockey at least 25 kg heavier than the others will hardly help his chances. And you thought it was poor Viveik Oberoi who was lugging around Sallu’s baggage.
