Salman Khan reveals he played his character differently to not suppress Aayush Sharma’s character

Post the success of his film, Salman Khan was in a conversation with the media where he talked about playing the character of a Sikh cop. In the film, Salman plays the character of a Sikh cop which is quite different from the cops he'd played in the past.

When asked Salman if he got nervous about playing his role in the film he said, “I knew in my head what I wanted to do with the character. I wanted to play it exactly how it was narrated to me. Mahesh also had the same thought. But when I started playing the character, I got scared, I’m not doing anything. But then I drew confidence from the fact that Aayush was playing his character in the way that I thought I should play mine. And if I would play my character that way too, then his character would have got suppressed."

He added, "Both of us could not have played our characters the same way. Aayush plays a powerful man but he has got that anger in him, while my character in the film sports a smile. Even if he’d exercise his authority, he’d do it with a smile. So he knows his power. Even when he is having a conversation with the politicians, he will still have a smile on his face. That is the way I portrayed my character. It was good fun."

The actor was also asked if he'd add some inputs from his end to character. Responding to it, he says "Mahesh and I, both had our inputs. I am playing an inspector and a Sardar in the movie. So I needed to be careful about my role. Be it any community or culture, I have to be careful about playing the respective role. You’ve got to respect the community and glorify them in the right manner. I’ve done that in all my films.”

Further Salman also revealed hurting himself with the Kada (Thick Bangle) he wore in the movie. The actor said, “While trying to shoot for the scenes, that Kada hurts so much that your hands start hurting."
