After that, I had to leave." He further explained how he became a fan of Salman after one unexpected encounter with the actor and decided to cast him in a film. "So I entered. I don't know what the shoot was. Full dark smoke, light comes, Sridevi was there. I was surprised. Then suddenly, I saw a hero's back. He was combing his hair. So I tried to see who the hero was. He was none other than Salman Sir. I tried to go one step forward, and I saw the guard looking at me. He said no. So I went outside and thought that one day I would direct a film with him. So after so many years, I have directed the film with him," he said.
