Superstar Salman Khan is all set for Kabir Khan's Tubelight
which is scheduled to release on June 23, 2017 and is presently promoting the film.
In an interview with a famous tabloid, when questioned if he
remembers dialogues, Salman told, "Yes, I do remember, but if there are
some heavy-duty dialogues that I have to think about and say, then it doesn’t
easily come to me. The dialogues that I have to feel and say come easily. So, I
don’t say the dialogues the way they are written. If there is something
flowery, I change thoda idhar-udhar. If there are some long lines, then there
are always two cameras set up and there is one close and some long shot. I have
someone say the lines aloud and I say it with full belief."
But Salman does have a perfect memory and remembers things
from 20 years ago. On that, he told, "Yes. Things have happened, that I
remember. My school education, I don’t remember at all, because I rated it.

On whether he was a good student, Salman told, "I was
okay. I mean, at sports and all, I was fine, studies I used to pass. So, I used
to ratto it and as soon as I would come out of my examination and mum would
ask, ‘Kya likha hai iske upar?’ I would never remember. Even my dialogues I do
not remember."
He then went on to talk about Sanjay Dutt, Govinda and
Shatrughan Sinha and how they are amazing at remembering lines. The actor told,
"Someone like Sanju, you give him a three-page dialogue, the guy reads it
once or twice and he remembers it. He is phenomenal. I have done three movies
with him and I know. There was one film, Saajan, where he had all the dialogues
and I had one last line... he used to look at me. So, I used to say my line,
then cut, and then go for one more. He used to say,‘Bhaijaan kya kar rahe ho?’
Govinda also has a phenomenal memory. He remembers each and every dialogue of
his and he has done so many films and intricate dialogues, comedy punches,
this, that, informatory lines, everything he remembers. If you are like, ‘Woh
yaar woh dialogue kaunsa tha Aunty No.1 ka’, and he is like ‘Yeh wala, yeh
wala, yeh wala’, outstanding. Shatru saab too. He had come on to the sets of Dus
Ka Dum and he told, ‘Yaar ek woh dialogue tha mera and I used to reach late and
woh din ka scene tha when I went there kuch aanth (eight) page ka dialogue tha,
toh main make-up karte karte maine padha. The producer said, light jaa rahi
hai. I said fikar mat karo, camera lagao and main karta hu’. He read it
two-three times and he said it. I said, ‘Sir, woh kya dialogue tha’. He
replied, ‘Yaar yeh kuch 30-40 saal pehle ki baat hai.’ I said, haan sir. He
said, ‘Ruko ek second’. And he recited it. Eight pages from memory, straight
out. I was shocked. I thought kiya hoga shows pe. But he said, ‘Pehli baar kar
raha hu us din ke baad’. I forget lines, I forget locations, I forget all these
unimportant things. I just delete them."
