He made the blunt remark, “The actors today have become very insecure. Do you see any of the younger generation stars doing two-hero films? I have offered a film individually and in combination to younger actors but they all refused to work with each other.”
The Tiger 3 star added, “They presented different excuses, but the fact is they did not want to work with each other.”
In the same conversation, he praised renowned stars for their work ethics including Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Sanjay Dutt, Jackie Shroff, Akshay Kumar, Rahul Roy, Anil Kapoor and Sanjay Kapoor.
Salam noted that back in the days actors used to do 2 to 3 films together.
“It was about our fans coming together and fetching that much of the box-office collections. We also became close friends by shooting for 100–150 days together,” he noted.
