Veteran actor Danny Denzongpa had once opened up about Salman Khan and compared him to Amitabh Bachchan of the 80s.
In an interview with Times of India in 2014, Danny opened up about working with Salman Khan and showered praise on the superstar. He said, “I did a film with Salman called Sanam Bewafa when he was a newcomer. He was young, lean with deep-set eyes and had just started building his body. There were these long ropes hanging down from the ceiling on the set on which he would exercise. He is very down to earth and is a very straight guy. You can find out whatever he is feeling by looking at him. If he doesn’t like you, his expression comes into his eyes. Whatever he says comes out from his heart. He is not tricky at all.”
Elaborating further, he added, “He has become such a huge star, that even if he sneezes people react to that, which is fantastic. He is like the Amitabh Bachchan of the 80s. He too is on the top and is number one to 10. All other stars come after 10. He is janta ka real star.”
Meanwhile, on the work front, Salman will next be seen in Mahesh Manjrekar’s ‘Antim: The Final Truth’ along with brother-in-law Aayush Sharma in the lead role. Apart from this, he also has films like, ‘Kick 2’ with Jacqueline Fernandez and ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’ co-starring Pooja Hegde.
The ‘Dabangg’ star is currently shooting for the third instalment of his popular ‘Tiger’ franchise. The film will also star Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi in the lead roles.
