"Aa raha hu main NFTs lekar", Salman Khan tweeted.

"Whenever we talk about blockchain or investment, there’s always this feeling of uncertainty we feel because most of us don’t know much about stocks, cryptocurrencies, or any other form of digital assets. We know about famous Bollywood movie dialogues, songs, and hook steps of popular dance numbers. With BollyCoin, we have tried to find that perfect balance between investments, NFTs, digital assets, and creative content consumption. We are incredibly thrilled to have Salman Khan has partnered with us for Salman Khan static NFTs since it denotes that we are on the right track," said Atul Agnihotri, co-founder of BollyCoin, said in a statement.

The platform--which has partnered with film houses like Salman Khan Films, Arbaaz Khan, Sohail Khan Production and Reel Life Productions--promises the fans the possibility of allowing fans to invest in clips and stills, iconic dialogues, unseen footage, posters, and social media content and merchandise from their favorite stars and films.
