We further chimed in and asked Taha if he felt the role of Tajdar was similar to Salman Khan’s Prem character. To this, the actor remarks, “I think sir wrote my character with a mix of both his characters from Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and Devdas. And a little bit of his self as well because many times he’s like this is what I would do if I was there. So I think it’s a mix. And who doesn’t want to be compared to Salman and Shah Rukh. But I think my character Tajdar is like Prem. And Shah Rukh sir is my idol. And nobody can emote like the way he does.”
