Saqib Saleem has quite an interesting list of films lined up. On one hand, he's working on Salman Khan starrer 'Race 3' while on the other hand, his film 'Dil Juunglee' is set to release on March 9, 2018. Talking about having an outsider complex, he said, "I have always said this and will again say that it’s not because of the industry but, people, who come from outside the industry, like I have, no matter what, we always have an outsider complex. You can’t do anything about it. We keep fighting about it. We are always thinking do we fit in or do we not fit in. It’s just human nature to have that (thought), ‘Am I fitting in? Am I allowed to do this? Am I allowed to be talking to him like that?'"

Talking about working with Salman Khan, he said, "Initially, it is intimidating but once you break the ice with him then he is the best guy you can hang out with. He is so much fun. His stories are legendary and more than that the way he tells his stories, with so much passion and love, is fascinating. He is a very caring person. He makes sure you are always well fed. If he is eating, then he makes sure you also eat. He checks up on what you are eating. He got into the kind of work out I was doing. He gave me tips."

"People just see the image of a superstar but if they get to hang out with him, they will realise he is one of the most awesome guys you will ever come across. He is just so real that you feel God does not make guys like him anymore. He doesn’t make such real guys anymore. He (Salman) just says what he feels," Saqib concluded.
