I was a star at that time and SRK was upcoming [star].”

“Both he and Akshay Kumar are hardworking but there’s a difference. SRK was weak in fight, he was weak in dancing. Salman Khan and SRK, we are doing Karan Arjun. In that, Salman was doing a perfect take, there would be retakes because of him. Salman would mock SRK. That man has worked and made himself a star. He is now a pro in dance, he can fight too now,” he added.

Talking about Salman, he said, “He is free and doesn’t take much tension. He is a great character, busy in his own world,” while adding, “So, it’s about nature.
