Salman Khan is all set to entice his fans in his upcoming
film Tubelight. Helmed by Kabir Khan, the movie is all set to release on June
23, 2017.
With just 2 days left for the movie to release, Kabir Khan
in a candid interview revealed that this is perhaps the first time he saw
Salman Khan prepare for a role.
When asked how did Salman prepare for the role, Kabir said,
"Preparation is not something Salman Khan will admit to, because I think
it's not cool enough to do that but this is the first time I saw him prepare
for a role. This is the first time I saw him struggling to, in a way, to get
hold of this character. He would start calling me in the middle of the night
saying ki "arey koi reference de" and I said, "main kahan se
reference doon, reference hi nahi hai." He said, "Hollywood mei koi
reference hai," to which I said, "nahi hai". There was one
person who he knew of which was probably close to this character. He would keep
asking would the character do this or that, so that was his preparation. Just
sitting and thinking about this character much more than I have ever seen him
do. Even today, he goes by gut instinct. In this, I could see him do that."
Further, Kabir recalled the first day of the shoot when
Salman disappeared for 40 minutes to prepare for the scene. "This I
realized on the first day of the shoot. I realised I was a little cruel to him
because, on the first day of the shoot, I made him do the climax scene. I said
I will throw you in the deep end aur pir dekhenge. On the first day of the
shoot in Ladakh, when we were about to shoot, he disappeared. I kept looking
for him and he came after 40 minutes, he came in a zone which I have never seen
in him because he is someone who would be whistling and laughing and whom we
say action will start crying. We rolled, that is a single take scene, which has
gone as it is in the edit, I didn't tell him anything, he just performed
something and I realized where he was for the last 40 minutes. For me, that was
very heartening as the director because this made my journey simpler because I
realised that he is taking care of his own character, I just need to make sure
that the consistency remains and he doesn't go overboard."
Kabir, in an earlier interview, had also said that this is
by far Salman's most endearing role.
Kabir and Salman have together worked in three films- Ek Tha
Tiger, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Tubelight.
