At the recent episode of The Kapil Sharma Show, Sajid Nadiadwala opened up on an incident when he had a heated argument with Salman Khan over the shooting schedule of Dil Jo Pyar Karega back in 2000. Salman Khan and Sajid agreed on the dates as Sajid mentioned that the film’s shooting shall start in five months, but later Sajid said that the shooting shall start in 20 days, and with this a verbal fight took place between the two, when Salman also threw a diary on his face.
Sajid said, “I had cast someone else for the film and the shooting was in 20 days. He said, ‘I’m not comfortable doing this film’. I felt very bad. Salman was shooting with Shah Rukh for Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and I reached there. I said, ‘I need the dates immediately before the industry comes to know in the morning that the picture has been shelved, I want to start shooting. He said, ‘Ok. Take the dates. We’ll start in five months’. I said, ‘Not five months, I need to start early’.”
He added, “When he asked when I need to start I said 20 days. Salman said, ‘Are you mad? My dates are full. I’m doing four films’. So we had an argument and out of anger he threw his diary on me saying, ‘See there’s nothing here’. I took the diary with me and adjusted his dates. I cancelled a few of his scheduled dates and added mine. Three days later his boy, Raju, came to me to take his diary. He said, ‘Give back the diary, Salman is saying he has to go for shooting but doesn’t know where to go’. So my picture was completed within the few dates in three months,” as quoted by Hindustan Times.
