Kabir in a recent interview admitted that their relationship had “evolved over the years”, stating that their sensibilities never matched initially, but they blended their sensibilities, which worked for them in Bajrangi Bhaijaan
The teaming up of Salman Khan and director Kabir Khan has been one of the most celebrated collaborations in the industry, with two back-to-back hits in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Ek Tha Tiger. Over the past few days, there has been a lot of speculation about the rapport they share with each other and the reported “creative differences” that surfaced between them while working on the war-drama Tubelight. Kabir in a recent interview admitted that their relationship had “evolved over the years”, stating that their sensibilities never matched initially, but they blended their sensibilities, which worked for them in Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
However, Salman Khan recently revealed that their equation had more to do with Kabir’s great script-sense and stories, reiterating the fact that his consistent track-record with any director had more to do with the scripts, than anything else, “If Kabir gets me a bad script tomorrow I may not do the film, no matter what the comfort level would be or what he would say. We can work together only till the time he gets me the best of scripts and only till the time, I give him my best work,” he said. However, he later described the great bond he shared with the reckoned director as a coming together of two different ideologies, “It is a very good understanding of two people who think differently. He comes from that documentary style of filmmaking, which is more realistic and I come from a different style altogether and my emotions and understanding for commercial cinema are different. He tries to pull me towards him and I have to pull him up,” he said in his matter-of-fact tongue-in-cheek humour.
Salman also recalled the long professional relationship he had shared with Kabir and how it was his work in Kabul Express that first got him interested in the director, “Kabir and I have known each other before Ek Tha Tiger. He had first shown me his work in Kabul Express way back,” he said. In fact, he was the one who prodded Katrina Kaif to sign New York with Kabir, though she initially had her own reservations about doing the film, “Having seen Kabir’s work, I told her she must do the film. It had a different setting and dealt with the subject of terrorism and it seemed very interesting. Subsequently, Katrina began to share a great rapport with him,” he said, adding that they both shared a great comfort level with Kabir, having worked with him in two films each.
