Talking about Sanjay Dutt, Suniel called him the embodiment of swag. “He is who he is, he is a star,” Suniel said, adding that Sanjay often asks his co-star to say the meatier dialogues. “Sanjay Dutt ko bolo ke dialogues itne bolne hai and he will say ‘tu bolde na yaar sab’ (Ask Sanjay Dutt to say the dialogues and he will say, ‘why don’t you deliver them?’).

When asked about Salman Khan, Suniel called him ‘the man with the largest heart in the world’. He called Shah Rukh Khan ‘a gentleman and a charmer to the core, and not just for women but men also’. “I shot Main Hoon Na with him and he used to treat his actors like superstars. SRK is the most secure man I have ever seen. In the Main Hoon Na climax scene, he stepped down and said ‘I can’t beat Suniel Shetty up. Let me do something — like he took the pin of the bomb — saying physically I can’t beat him. You are talking about men here who are so secure in their own skin.”

When asked about Akshay Kumar, Suniel told Bollywood Bubble that the actor is ‘the epitome of fitness and discipline’. He also praised Ajay Devgn and said he is always cool, calm, composed and intense. “He is a friend who will give you his left arm without you asking for it,” Suniel added.
