Salman Khan: Having seen Kabir’s work, I told Katrina she must do 'New York'

Kabir Khan, in an interview recently, addressed the rumours about his creative differences with Salman Khan that surfaced during the making of 'Tubelight'. Admitting that his relationship with the actor has "evolved over the years", Kabir agreed that he and Salman have different sensibilities and that they have had arguments on the sets too.

However, Salman in an interview revealed that their equation with Kabir and even his other directors is more to do with their script sense and stories. He further elaborated that his consistent track-record with any director is more to do with scripts.

Salman said, "If Kabir gets me a bad script tomorrow I may not do the film, no matter what the comfort level would be or what he would say. We can work together only till the time he gets me the best of scripts and only till the time, I give him my best work."

Salman further added, "It is a very good understanding of two people who think differently. He comes from that documentary style of filmmaking, which is more realistic and I come from a different style altogether and my emotions and understanding for commercial cinema are different. He tries to pull me towards him and I have to pull him up."

Recalling the long professional relationship that he shares with Kabir, Salman said, "Kabir and I have known each other before 'Ek Tha Tiger'. He had first shown me his work in 'Kabul Express' way back."

Not many know, but it was Salman who prodded Katrina Kaif to sign on the dotted lines for 'New York'. "Having seen Kabir’s work, I told her she must do the film. It had a different setting and dealt with the subject of terrorism and it seemed very interesting. Subsequently, Katrina began to share a great rapport with him," said Salman as he further went on to add that Kabir and Kat have a great comfort level since the two have worked together on two films.
