Within a very short span of time, Ali Abbas Zafar has emerged as one of the leading directors in Bollywood. His last two films, Sultan and Tiger Zinda Hai , both featuring superstar Salman Khan , have done phenomenal business at the domestic as well as international box office, catapulting him to the league of top directors in the industry. Zafar shares a great bond with megastar Salman Khan . After helming him in two films, now the director is going to direct him again in the forthcoming film Bharat, which is all set to mount floors soon. Talking about his bond with Khan, Ali says that Salman is one of the very few people in the industry who is very honest.

“I think it’s the bond of honesty because I personally think he is one of the very few people in the industry who’s very honest, who is like ‘what you see, is what you get’. And I am somewhere exactly like that. He is so senior to me, so my relationship with him has always been like that of a younger brother. We don’t have a director-actor relationship. So when that happens, I can push him to do things which, maybe, a lot of filmmakers won’t be able to do,” Ali said.
