What happened during the shoot of Kick
Speaking with Digital Commentary in an interview, Saurabh said, “Salman’s character is meeting me for the first time as my daughter’s boyfriend. Interestingly, the scene is written in such a way that he asks me about my salary, my savings, etc… So when I am asked that question, I reacted in a way that showed the audience that I was stumped and shocked by that question.”
What Salman said
He went on to add, “After the scene was shot, one of Salman’s assistants came up to me, and said that I have to change my reaction in that scene. The assistant felt I should act scared in front of Salman’s Devi Lal Singh. While I tried to argue that such a reaction doesn’t make sense, his assistant pointed out that Salman might not like that reaction. Salman called his assistant, and asked him to not disturb me at all. He told him that my acting was on point, and it was the perfect response to the scene.”
Kick also starred Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in key roles. A huge box office success upon release, Kick was produced and directed by Sajid Nadiadwala.
Salman will be seen next in Sikandar, which will release in Eid this year. It also stars Rashmika Mandanna. It is directed by AR Murugadoss, who is best known for directing Tamil and Hindi films such as Ghajini, Thuppakki, Holiday: A Soldier Is Never Off Duty and Sarkar.
