During the occasion, Salman Khan presented actor-director Idris Elba with the Red Sea Honoree Award.

On the work front
Salman was last seen on the big screen in Sikandar, which failed to generate the expected reaction. He made a cameo appearance in Aryan Khan`s directorial debut web series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. Salman was also seen anchoring the reality show Bigg Boss 19.
On the professional front, Salman Khan is preparing for his forthcoming war drama Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia. Inspired on a chapter from the book India`s Most Fearless 3, the video digs into the Indo-Chinese battle in the Galwan Valley. While the actor`s character poster has already been released, fans are impatiently awaiting the first official glimpse at the highly anticipated production.
