Salman had actually called me and said, 'there's this film, do it,' PTI quoted the 53-year-old actor as saying. In case you didn't know, Salman also has a cameo in Zero, a glimpse of which was shared in the Eid-special teaser. "The reason he came and did that song was because of this. He wanted to be a part of the film," Shah Rukh added.
Shah Rukh Khan was all praises for Salman Khan during the media interaction. "Salman is a wonderful human being... For him to remember that a year later or months later when the film was actually being told to Katrina to come back and say 'I want to be a part of this film because I've heard this film.' It was very dignified, decent of him," he added.
