Varun, who was just seven-years-old during the making of the film, said the "Sultan" star asked him to say 'Salman bhai' instead of uncle.
"I went for trial (show of 'Judwaa') and I called him Salman uncle he got very upset. He told me 'I will slap you if you call me that, call me Salman bhai. I don't care if you are David Dhawan's son I won't allow you inside theatre if you call me uncle,'" Varun told reporters here at the press conference of "Judwaa 2".
"We all have spoken to him it's a personal thing. His blessings are always there. I don't want to disappoint him (Salman), them (Sajid Khan and David Dhawan) and the audience."
When asked if he there is anxiety of being compared to Salman, the 29-year-old actor said, "I am not thinking about it you all keep reminding me. As an actor I do films for audience. When I do a film I don't think about I will become this or that or my price will hike as an actor I will get ad I don't think all this. Eventually audience should like your film."
