Despite the image he has come to acquire, the people who have worked with Salman, always have a good word to say about him. Cinematographer Rajendra Prasad, who has done several films in the south and worked with Salman for the first time in Saawan Kumar's SAAWAN-THE LOVE SEASON, feels that the actor's professionalism makes him a pleasure to work with. Prasad recalls one particular instance when shooting for the film Salman was tired shooting all day and his eyes had reddened due to the contact lenses he had to wear in the film. "His eyes were watering that day due to the lenses and he clearly looked very tired but he put on the lenses and decided to give the next shot for the film. Any other actor in his place would have insisted on taking rest but he maintained that he would go ahead with the next few scenes because he did not want the film to suffer due to him. Both I and Saawan-ji were touched by this gesture of his," Prasad recalls.
According to him Salman's extraordinary look in the film in the intense close-ups has to be seen to be believed. "He's always looked good in all his films but his get-up in this one is one of the best. Moreover his effort and involvement is evident in every scene," the cinematographer reveals.
