"Salman puts me at ease when we work together. He is always ready to do anything. He is the most natural actor," Barjatya told PTI.
The filmmaker is known for his family dramas depicting moral values, but according to him Salman, who has worked in his directorial ventures like "Hum Apke Hain Koun...!" and "Hum Saath Saath Hain," is much more traditional than him.
"He is a family oriented person, he is much more traditional than me. It is just that we started out together. We are real friends," he added.
"More than business there are his fans who want to see pure entertainment. You just can't make Salman cry, serious or in pitiable state so I have to look at the emotions carefully."
However, when Barjatya tried to use the commercial formulas in their last film, Salman was the one who stopped him from doing so.
"Narration of the script has always been a formality between us. But I make sure I narrate the story to him. We discuss if any changes are to be made or not.
