Salman Khan is the biggest example of secularism: Kabir Khan
Director Kabir Khan, who directed Salman Khan in 2015's biggest grosser Bajrangi Bhaijaan', has said that the megastar is the biggest living example of secularism in the country. Someone who feels very strongly about few issues and how secularism is perceived in India.
"After Ek Tha Tiger', I started spending a lot of time with Salman. One thing that I realised that he feels very strongly about few issues, especially how secularism is perceived in India" Kabir said at the All Light Indian International Film Festival'.
"Salman is a living example of secularism. When you go to his house and see the way he and his family lives, you'll come to the conclusion that there can't be a more secular person than him" he added.
Through Bajrangi Bhaijaan', Kabir wanted to show the secular side of Salman Khan to the world.
"Salman's secular feeling has never been articulated in the right way. He's a superstar and when he says millions will listen. Around this time, I was working on the story of Bajrangi Bhaijaan', and I felt he would fit the bill"
When asked about his experience of working with Salman in Ek Tha Tiger' and Bajrangi Bhaijaan', Kabir said they used to be a lot of clashes initially, but when the time came to make Bajrangi Bhaijaan', Salman requested Kabir to protect' the story of the film from Salman himself and the corporate studios.
"We had a lot of clashes when we worked on Ek Tha Tiger' because both of us came from two different worlds. It's only towards the end of the film we started to understand each other and it resulted in the commercial success of the film"
"When I decided to narrate the story, I decided I'll read his body language. When he heard the story, he literally jumped with excitement. He asked me to make the film the way I want it and absolutely without any compromises. He asked me protect the story from him and the studios" he added.
