Shetty went on to state that the bhaijaan of Bollywood is a human of another level with every act of his. “I share a beautiful relationship with him. I don’t meet him regularly, but there is a lot of love and respect,” added the Dhadkan actor.

In the same chat, Suniel also defended Salman’s films not performing well at the box office. According to Athiya Shetty’s father, people call Khan’s Rs 200 crore movies a flop. But for half of the industry, it’s not just a hit but a superhit.

Suniel further stated that there are times when people are wrong in the selection of films. But despite that, the Dabangg actor works from the heart. Therefore, when Salman gets a good subject film, it will do magic, opined Shetty.

The Main Hoon Na actor was also quick to state that even the Sikandar actor’s underperforming films make Rs 200 crore. “Is saal ki saari films ka number dekh lena, you’ll know it will be lower than a Salman Khan film (Just look at the box office numbers of all the films this year; you’ll know it will be lower than a Salman Khan film.)”
