Emmy Award winning director says Salman Khan is like a gentle giant

Salman Khan starrer ‘Sultan’ managed to garner praises for the actor from across the country and from outside it as well.

It was recently that Emmy Award-winning director Cary Fukunaga made his first visit to the country and had an opportunity to watch ‘Sultan’. The director found superstar Salman Khan absolutely “likeable” in the film.

Cary was in India last month as he was a part of the MAMI Film Festival and also took time out to travel to parts of South India. “We had these long drives to Madurai, so I had time in the car to watch movies. I thought it (‘Sultan’) was great. He (Salman) is tremendously likeable. He is like a gentle giant,” Cary said.

Not just this, Cary also tried to understand Hinduism and said, “The thing which was very difficult to understand in India, is Hinduism. I wrapped my head around it. It is so vast and large… Like for example, Diwali is happening. If I am writing a story, I try to figure out how people are celebrating it, suffering through it, what are the consequences… Just try to create context, first in broad strokes, then in small strokes, the details.”

Cary is known for TV series, ‘True Detective’.
