Salman Khan reveals Sanjay Leela Bhansali ‘yells, throws things’ on set, advises him to spend time with Sooraj Barjatya to learn patience

“He makes the atmosphere excellent for his actors to perform. Even if the shift is getting stretched, lights are going, he doesn’t bother. Instead, he works on collaborating with his actors,” Salman said.

The actor added that Barjatya’s patience is to the level of Gautam Buddha and he never yells at his actors. In fact, Salman said that the director understands that if the actor is in a bad mood, he wouldn’t be able to perform well. “He knows if the actor is at his happiest best, he will perform the best,” Salman said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Salman remembered seeing Sanjay Leela Bhansali yelling on his set. The actor shared, “He was yelling… and apparently he does that a lot. I told him to go and hang with Sooraj for a bit. He is throwing things… He told me, ‘Yeah, I am losing it.’ I said the first thing you do (is keep patience). To make your actor look beautiful … Taj Mahal is made out of love. Mohabbat karte ho tab banta hai, nafrat se nahi (Taj Mahal is made out of love, not out of resentment).”

Looking at Sooraj Barjatya, Salman added that the filmmaker has only grown and evolved with time.

Salman Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have collaborated in films like Khamoshi, Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Saawariya.
