Salman Khan Hugs Ranbir Kapoor Tightly, Teases Sanjay Leela Bhansali In Old Clip: 'Bura Director Agar...'

Ranbir Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor made their acting debuts in Bollywood in the 2007 film Saawariya. The film was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and was based on Fyodor Dostoevsky’s 1848 short story White Nights. The film also featured cameos from Salman Khan and Rani Mukerji. An old video has now resurfaced on Reddit in which Salman could be seen giving Ranbir a hug and talking about Sanjay Leela Bhansali.

The video has now gone viral on Reddit. In the video, Salman praises Ranbir and Sonam and then goes on to give Ranbir Kapoor a tight hug. Salman then said, “He’s (Ranbir) making me nervous.” He then said, “It makes me feel so good when I see this younger generation growing up and makes me feel that I’m just getting younger.”

Salman then teased Anil Kapoor who was in the audience. He said, “Look at that proud father crying. Arre mat ro yaar. Are you crying because your daughter’s film has been released and she’s become a movie star or because you’re going in the Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan bracket?” He then said, “I’ll take Anil’s position.”

Salman then said, “I’d like Sanjay Leela Bhansali to thank me first. Where is Sanjay Leela Bhansali? Thank me. You know, kehte hain, ki subah ka bura director agar shaam ko wapas ghar aa jaaye aur direct kare Ranbir, Sonam aur Rani aur Salman ko toh usse bura director nahi kehte hain. Usse accha director kehte hain.”

“Itni badi badi picturein, ji picturein banayi hain inhone. Bohot badi badi picturein banayi hain, unki baat nahi kar raha main, flops ki baat kar raha, disasters ki baat kar raha hoon,” he added.

Saawariya was released on November 9, 2007. As such, the film recently clocked 16 years since its release.
