Viveck Vaswani’s Reason for Avoiding Salman Khan
Filmmaker Viveck Vaswani launched Raveena Tandon opposite Salman Khan in Patthar Ke Phool. However, Viveck never worked with Salman again. In a recent conversation with Vickey Lalwani on his YouTube channel, Viveck said he prefers disciplined working environments and would only collaborate with Salman under certain conditions.
He added, “With some filmmakers, he is in control like Aditya Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Sooraj Barjatya. He’s in control with them. These are producers who don’t make films just on Salman’s name. They get the same respect because they are very big banners. They don’t allow interference. They need Salman the actor, not Salman the star. I don’t want indiscipline.”
