Vishal Jethwa on working with Salman Khan

Talking to Pinkvilla, Vishal shared a memory of working with Salman on the set. He said, “I really like Salman Khan's aura. I just love watching him as a fan that whenever Salman sir arrives, he is accompanied by his team. He has a childlike innocence and meets everybody warmly on the sets. I like that a lot. He is very sweet.”

Salman Khan’s shirt incident

Jethwa further revealed one particular memory where Salman Khan, who normally wants to be seen shirtless as it's his confident thing, taking off his shirt anywhere, was on their set during Jethwa's scene and needed to change. Instead of going to the vanity, he just asked his dressman to bring the shirt right there, and as soon as it arrived, he changed in front of everyone. Jethwa thought, wow, witnessing that scene live.
