Bollywood superstar Salman Khan believes he is a better singer in comparison to his contemporary Shah Rukh Khan.
At a promotional event of of Salman's upcoming home production "Hero", singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, who has sung 'Yadaan Teriyaan', was asked this question and chose a safe reply.
When asked who has better music sensibility -- Shah Rukh Khan or Salman Khan as he has collaborated with both of them, Rahat said, "I have heard only Salman Khan's song. I am yet to hear Shah Rukh Khan's song. Salman bhai can sing himself."
Salman, 49, interrupted the singer to say, "No chance ... it's a losing battle. Don't listen. He (Shah Rukh Khan) will raise my hand (in victory)."
The actor-producer said they wanted an established singer for the movie and chose Amaal Malik.
"I felt, why not take Amaal... He has the tune, he has composed the song (title song) well and he also sings well. If Himesh Reshamiya and Sajid Wajid can sing. His uncle (Anu Malik) also sings then why not him? He should get a chance," said Salman.
