MUMBAI : Hindi film industry actor Jason Shah, who was recently appeared on the screen by portraying an antagonist role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s series, Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar spoke about being attracted towards the industry after sharing a screen space as an extra in the Salman Khan-starrer Partner. In an interview, Jason said that he was impressed with Salman’s casual personality, and recalled how the actor would roll up on set late in the afternoon, while the producer would request him to get some work done.
Chatting with an entertainment portal, the actor recalled his journey before getting the opportunity of a supporting role in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s big-budget Heeramandi, which was released on Netflix on May 1. He said, “I started modelling when I was 17-18. I did a small scene in the song ‘Dupatta Tera Nau Rang Da’ in 'Partner. That’s where I was bitten by the acting bug. I wanted to live this amazing life.”
He further said, “Salman Khan, aaya 3 baje dopahar mein apni motorbike pe, koi kuch kaam nahi kar raha, 4:30 baj raha hai, producer khada hai bol raha hai, ‘Sir, ek shot lelo’ (Salman Khan would arrive on set at 3 in the afternoon on his motorbike, nobody would do any work. At 4:30, the producer would request him with folded hands to do just one shot). I loved it. It looked like a relaxed life.”
This is not the first time that one of Salman’s co-stars has spoken about his delay on the set. Incidentally, Partner also featured Govinda, whose own habitual tardiness has been well-documented over the years. In an interview with an entertainment portal, actor Grusha Kapoor recalled losing her patience when Salman showed up to set 10 hours late.
