Subhash Ghai Recalls Salman Khan Fallout Before Yuvvraaj
Subhash Ghai and Salman Khan once had a serious argument at a party.
Ghai said Salman had been drinking and said things that upset him.
The argument became a physical scuffle.
Salman’s father, Salim Khan, scolded him afterward.
The next morning, Salman visited Ghai’s home and apologized politely.
Ghai accepted the apology and said they became friendly again.
Salman’s brother later suggested that Ghai make a film with Salman.
They eventually worked together on Yuvvraaj, a 2008 film that did not do well at the box office.
Subhash Ghai said he and Salman Khan had a scuffle at a party before working together.
Ghai said Salman was under the influence of alcohol, made comments he objected to, and abused him during the argument.
Salim Khan told Ghai he had reprimanded Salman and sent him to apologize the next morning.
Ghai said Salman’s respectful apology resolved the dispute and strengthened their relationship.
The two later made Yuvvraaj, released in 2008, which featured Anil Kapoor, Zayed Khan and Katrina Kaif but performed poorly at the box office.
