Throwback: Sajid Nadiadwala speaks about his bond with Salman Khan: "He trusts me so much that he has never heard my script ever for any of my films; people took years to realize that he's a good guy"; also shares heartwarming story behind naming his production house Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment

With Sikandar’s release less than a month away, Bollywood Hungama goes down memory lane as it comes across a fascinating interview of its producer Sajid Nadiadwala. In an interview to Bombay Times in January 2014, the enterprising producer spoke about his deep love and admiration for Salman Khan and a lot more. Sajid Nadiadwala said, “Right from 1995 when we started our career, we have grown together. He trusts me so much that he has never heard my script ever for any of my films. It’s not that we talk much as we are busy in our own lives, but he trusts me. It’s taken so much time for people to finally know that he is a good guy, though he has always been like this only. Earlier, I would be asked, ‘Why are you working with Salman again?’ Now, he can be asked this question. We would tell the media that he is a nice guy, but no one believed it. Today, they know he is a good guy, so they won’t have a problem. There is nothing he did that was bad, but only through the media, we would come...

Playing a wretchedly unhappy scion of a criminal family in Kanu Behl’s crime drama Titli in 2015, Arora defined a new-age protagonist who was just a face in the crowd until you rubbed him the wrong way. In Rock On 2, Farhan Akhtar, Arjun Rampal and Purab Kohli rightly hogged the limelight. It was the enormously talented Shashank Arora who, as the new recruit in the band, got the sur of his character right even though he had the least amount of space to grow. The lad was hungry for opportunity. He grabbed what he got with both hands.
