The Salman Khan-starrer Wanted was released on this day 11 years ago.

The 2009 thriller, which heralded Salman's golden run of annual Eid blockbusters, is also widely considered the film that cemented the actor's position as an action superstar.

Importantly, the film came at a time when several of Salman's releases had fared below expectation. "Wanted", a mass entertainer, helped him turned the box office tide in his favour.

Directed by Prabhudeva, "Wanted" was a remake of Puri Jagannadh's 2006 Telugu blockbuster "Pokiri", starring Mahesh Babu and Ileana D'Cruz.
