Salman Khan talks about working with people he loves
When Variety India asked Salman about the first film set where he truly felt at home, he didn’t have to think twice. He spoke warmly about the bond he shares with the people he has worked with over the years, and explained that for him, comfort on set always comes down to the people around him. Salman said, “My first film. Sooraj Barjatya and I are like brothers. After that, the most fun I had was with Sohail Khan, Arbaaz Khan, and Sanju (Sanjay Dutt). In fact, all my films. I believe you should work with people you like.”
If there’s a script, and you have to do it, but you don’t like the person, you either don’t do the film or you get along with that person and do the film. “The Taj Mahal was never built on hatred.”
