Earlier this year,
Emraan Hashmi had opened up on his equation with both Salman Khan and
Shah Rukh Khan. While Salman and Emraan worked together on Tiger 3, Shah Rukh and him worked on a short sketch for the Bard of Blood promotional video, an OTT series starring the Murder actor.
Talking to The Lallantop, the actor said, “I first met SRK on the sets of my film Murder, when he had come to meet (Mahesh) Bhatt sahab.
So I hadn’t actually met him, I was inside, giving my shot, and he waved to me and showed me a ‘thumbs-up’ sign and said something like, ‘You are doing well’. I don’t know if he had seen Footpath (2003 film) but that was very encouraging for me, because I am a very big SRK fan and that’s how my first meeting with SRK was.”

He added, “After that when Bard of Blood was made, I had gone to his house, we sat and watched some episodes together. We also discussed the show because he was the producer of the show, and his observations, his points, were very important to us, very valuable for us.”
On Salman, Emraan had an interesting take. He added, “I’d say he has his own schedule. He has his own timing and schedule, but he is one of the best people to work with. He is very fond of me, I am very fond of him.”
Commenting on their relationship, Emraan said, “We are not friends but there is mutual respect. When we were shooting together, sitting together on sets, it felt like I was talking to a friend. He is a lot more senior than me but we both have grown around the same neighborhood of Bandra, we also talk about fitness. It is easy to converse with me, there are times when you feel a certain kind of ease with some people, I feel that way with Salman.”
