‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ actor Paresh Pahuja made his debut with Salman Khan, where he played the role of a RAW agent, named Azaan. He revealed that he had mixed emotions when he got the film, he was nervous as well as thrilled at the same time. He was the youngest actor in the whole team. He is all praises for Salman Khan as he helped the actor for his close-ups and Salman even used to share some tips with him.


The actor said, “When I got this film, I had very mixed emotions. I was obviously thrilled but nervous too. I’ve revered him [Salman] all my life. But that equation really helped me play Azaan. I’m the youngest one in the team, so the way Azaan [my character] was in front of Tiger [Salman’s character], it was exactly how I am in front of Salman sir in real life.”


Talking about the experience of working with Salman Khan he said, “He stayed back for my close-ups just to give me cues. I mean you’re “The Salman Khan”. He told me a few things about screen acting, which surprised me. Very little changes have such a huge impact on the screen. And he’s very impromptu. So, we used to improvise as well. Salman sir has a great writer inside him and his one-liners are outstanding.”


Further talking about Salman Khan he said, “You know people tell you thousand things about a person. So, you go with these preconceptions. But Salman sir was so warm and welcoming from day one. He made me feel very comfortable and secure. Not just professionally, but personally, too, he takes care of people better than anyone else. Maybe that’s why he is where he is.”
