Salman Khan's two releases in 2015 both feature him as the consummate conscience-keeper of the nation. Sooraj Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo which releases in November sees the return of Salman as the Bhagwan Shri Ram-avatar Prem. The ideal son, brother and family-man which Salman played in Sooraj's Hum Aapke Hain Koun and Hum Saath Saath Hain was lost in an avalanche of bad-boy-with-a-good-heart roles.

The Swachh Bharat government brings to us the newly-repackaged clean-boy Salman in not only Barjatya's Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and also in Kabir Khan's Barjrangi Bhaijaan where Salman makes a political pitch for Indo-Pak amity by caring for a little girl from across the border.

Says a close buddy of the actor, "He is doing roles that have a certain image-consciousness about them. Earlier too he never played chichora roles. He would never misbehave with women no matter what the nature of the role. He never kissed his heroines. Now he's doing roles that are much more than time-pass. In Barjatya's film he is the archetypal Ram from Ramayan. In Kabir's film he is a guy who wants peace between India and Pakistan."

So is this a new politically conscious Salman? "It's the same Salman. But more committed to making his films a tool for a better society," says Salman's friend.
