Salman Khan shot for a cameo in a Cuban tourism commercial. It was a random gesture that Khan did at the request of a local filmmaker.

A source reveals, "Salman was shooting in Havana, when a filmmaker walked up to him on the set and asked if he could do a shot for his film promoting local tourism. He thought Salman's global appeal would be a huge asset for the project."

After getting his consent, the filmmaker quickly got his crew to the set where Salman was shooting and took a few shots of the actor smiling and waving to people around. The source adds, "Salman did it because he felt like it. He checked the footage they had shot and okayed it on the spot."
