Sanjay Leela Bhansali Considers Salman Khan His Only Friend In Bollywood

Sanjay Leela Bhansali has collaborated with actors Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, and Madhuri Dixit, among others. However, the filmmaker said that he can only call Salman a friend, in addition to adoring his actors and the characters he writes. Incase you don’t know, Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt were set to play the key parts in SLB’s eagerly awaited film Inshallah. The project was however shelved in 2019 due to creative differences. The director finally talked about his bond with the ‘Tiger 3‘ actor in a recent interview.

In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Sanjay Leela Bhansali said, “I love my actors. With actors, your relationship should not be just of friends; you have to love your actors, you have to love your characters that you’re creating. The only person I’m still friends with is Salman.”

Despite their disputes, Salman constantly checks in on him and lets him know when he makes mistakes, according to Sanjay Leela Bhansali. It was formerly thought that the two worked together on ‘Inshallah.’ However things didn’t work out, and the movie was shelved. “Even if a project didn’t happen, he stands by me. He’ll call me, he’ll care for me. ‘Are you okay, bro? You’ve goofed up, you’ve messed up, ” he added.
