Salman Khan was last seen in Tiger 3.
Ali Abbas Zafar called Salman Khan the true blue superstar and lauded his emotional intelligence.
Ali Abbas Zafar has worked with Salman Khan on several popular films like Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai among others. His collaboration with Salman did wonders for his career and established him as a promising director. Recently, Ali Abbas Zafar spoke about his bond with Salman and said that very few people see the good actor and beautiful star in him.
Speaking to Connect FM Canada, Ali said, “Whenever we are shooting, we often disagree with each other but I know that I love him the way his family loves him and there is a beautiful star and a very good actor in him and very few look at it. He is a very emotional person and that’s why if he doesn’t like something about you, he will say it. But the good thing is he still understands who are his people.”
Expressing his fondness for Salman, Ali said, “No matter what happens, I want to collaborate with him, whenever I write something, he is the first actor that comes to my mind and I feel there is no one as funny and smart as him in terms of emotional intelligence. He is the only one, the true blue superstar.”
“My relationship with Bhai is a very special one. The best thing about Salman sir is that he is very transparent in what he is as a human. He is very honest. He doesn’t want to impress anyone, with anything. He is a very secure star. If he loves you, he will love you to death, if he is angry with you, he will show that anger, if he doesn’t like you, he will let you know that he doesn’t like you, and I think all human beings should have that honesty. We should express how we feel about each other,” Ali said.
The filmmaker added, “He is such a pure soul that even though we have not worked together in the last 5-6 years, whenever we meet each other, we speak with the same love and respect. My respect for him is very high. Two people I regard very highly are Aditya Chopra and Salman Khan. They both contributed a lot to my career.”
Meanwhile, Ali is gearing up for the release of his next film, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, on April 10. The film stars Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff in key roles.
