Viveck Vaswani Explains Why He Didn’t Reunite With Salman Khan After Patthar Ke Phool

He signals he would return only on sets with firm hours under sober crews.

Overview

  • Vaswani, speaking on Vickey Lalwani’s podcast Wednesday, said he will not work where people drink on set or ignore call times.
  • He said he would collaborate with Salman only in tightly run productions under directors like Sanjay Leela Bhansali or Sooraj Barjatya.
  • The pair last worked together on Patthar Ke Phool in 1991, a hit that Vaswani co-produced with G. P. Sippy.
  • He emphasized respect for writers, pointing to Salim Khan’s close role on Patthar Ke Phool as a reason scripts should not be changed on set.
  • Vaswani also recalled mentoring a young Shah Rukh Khan by introducing him to filmmakers and offering support, underscoring the disciplined ethos he values.
