Salman Khan says he has 'never read a script'; reveals the truth behind his EXPENSIVE watch collection

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan may be signing on some of the biggest films in the Bollywood film industry, but according to the actor, he has done so without even reading the scripts.

Salman Khan never reads film scripts

The actor made a candid revelation about his filmmaking process, surprising all with his admission that he has 'never read a script'. Speaking to Variety India, the actor said, "I've never read a script in my entire life. I've written them, but I've never read them."


Khan has in the past also indicated that he prefers to understand the script's feel and commercial potential rather than reading a complete script. While he has previously noted skipping detailed script readings to avoid overthinking, he has admitted to writing down his own scripts or ideas.
