Salman Khan isn’t just Bollywood’s biggest superstar—he’s also the guy who doesn’t mind looking silly! Director Sooraj Barjatya, the man who gave him his iconic reel name Prem, recently revealed what makes Bhaijaan such a mass favorite.
In a chat with Tried and Refused Productions, Barjatya shared that Salman’s magic lies in his ability to be totally uninhibited. “He’s not worried about making a fool of himself,” the Hum Aapke Hain Koun director revealed. Unlike others who stress over “log kya kahenge” (what will people say?), Salman just lets loose—and that’s what connects him to the aam aadmi!
The filmmaker also praised Khan’s intense dedication, recalling how the Tiger 3 star observes every scene with eagle-eyed precision. “He makes everyone comfortable,” Barjatya quipped, reminiscing about their many collaborations, from Maine Pyaar Kiya to Prem Ratan Dhan Payo.
Up next, Salman is set to roar in Sikandar, an action-packed entertainer with Rashmika Mandanna. Directed by A.R. Murugadoss, the film drops on Eid 2025. Get ready for another blockbuster Prem-yatra!
