Producer Nikhil Dwivedi challenged filmmaker AR Murugadoss regarding comments about Salman Khan's punctuality on film sets. Dwivedi argued that Khan has maintained consistent Eid release schedules for over a decade, demonstrating his commitment to deadlines. He questioned how the actor could achieve such reliability without adequate shooting time and professional dedication. The producer emphasized that large-scale productions require 120 to 180 shooting days, during which Khan works continuously for six months.
Dwivedi defended artistic flexibility, stating that performers deserve autonomy over their working schedules rather than adhering to rigid morning call times. He noted Khan's reliability on television commitments and other projects as evidence of professionalism. From personal experience producing Dabangg 3, Dwivedi described Khan as accommodating and demand-free. Meanwhile, Dwivedi celebrated his recent success with Bandar, which premiered at Toronto International Film Festival under Anurag Kashyap's direction, starring Bobby Deol in a thought-provoking narrative.
