He further praised Salman’s approach to filmmaking. Kapoor said, “Salman has always viewed cinema as a medium for the audience, rather than just for artists. Even now, when he performs at stage shows or hosts Bigg Boss, it’s clear that these are platforms for the masses. He has dedicated himself to his audience and has cultivated that connection over time. Perhaps this understanding comes from being around legends like Salim-Javed, which he skillfully applied to mainstream cinema.”
