New Delhi: With his back-to-back big hits Salman Khan is the undisputed kind of Bollywood at the moment. While the megastar is known for his charming personality and amazing screen presence, little is known about the musical talent he possesses.
Sajid Khan in a recent chat show talked about how Salman Khan enjoys singing as much as acting and dancing and even without musical training is able to sing a song flawlessly in a single take.
Sajid has worked on several films with Salman Khan, including last year’s Christmas release, Dabangg 3.
“Salman considers his work as his playground and he enjoys this game very much. He likes acting, dancing and even singing. See, Salman is a big star, but he has no musical training. However, as a hobby, he sings in a few of his films. To be honest, he is a superstar and if he wants to sing all the six songs in a film, no one would be able to stop him. But he sings only once in a while. I also would like to add that after singing a song, Salman observes everyone’s reaction and judges if he has sung it properly or not,” says Sajid.
“I remember, once he even asked me, ‘sur aur taal theek tha na? Acha gaya na? Koi has nahi raha na mere pe?’ I said, ‘nahi bhai, bindass gao aap!’”
When Siddharth further questioned if Salman needs several takes to get a song right, Sajid revealed, “If he wants to give another take he will, but otherwise, he won’t give a retake. He is a one-take singer, he sings everything in one go and if he is happy with it, then that’s it. Whichever song he sings, he remembers it well, so you don’t need him to retake, he does it flawlessly,” says the music director praising the Bollywood superstar.
There were several rumours doing the rounds suggesting how Salman asked Sajid to drop his rendition of Yu Karke from Dabangg 3 and get another singer to sing it. However, quashing the rumours, Sajid said, “No, this is completely false.”
Sajid Khan will appear with buddy and singer Shaan on Zee TV’s Pro Music Countdown on August 23 at 6 PM.
