Even Salman Khan stole the show as he made an appearance at the screening. While interacting with the paparazzi, Bhai casually told the shutterbugs that Aamir had actually offered him the film's script before opting to do it himself.
“Isne story nahi bataayi na picture ki? Isne mere ko bulaya tha ye subject dekhne ke liye… main chala gaya mujhe bahut achi lagi picture… maine haan bhi keh di… mere ko phone aata hai ki, ‘main kar raha hu picture,” Salman jokingly said in front of Aamir Khan.
“Maine itni tareef kari thi picture ki ki Aamir bola, ‘main phaad dunga iss picture mein’... it's outstanding,” he added.
Salman Khan then took a fun jab at Aamir Khan's personal life, hinting towards the paperwork from the latter's divorce with Kiran Rao. “Isne bhi bola mere ko bhi ye picture bahut achi lagi par uss waqt ye kaam nahi kar raha tha, uss waqt thoda sa load tha… scripting… paperwork pe kaam chal raha tha iska uss waqt,” he said.
“Toh maine bola bahut achi picture hai mere ko karna hai toh mujhe iska phone aata hai ki… Also, isne mujhe bola tha ki main pehle kar chuka hu,” he added.
