As a massive superstar, Salman Khan has the freedom to pick and choose the movies that he’d be a part of. Some of those movies work out, and others don’t. His recent films have seen an unfortunate response at the box office.

Now, the iconic actor has revealed some insight into his filming process, and it comes as a shock. His process has a lot to do with the script itself, because of how much he pays attention to them without reading them.

During an interview with Variety India, Salman Khan talked about how, as a film star and filmmaker, he has been part of the writing process of multiple scripts, but when it comes to picking films, it is different. So much so that he has never read a script in his entire career.

“I've never read a script in my entire life. I've written them, but I've never read them.”

He added that his focus would lie on the film’s commercial appeal rather than the script itself. Khan focuses on the overall feel of the film, understanding the emotional depth that is in the film.

He also revealed that while many fans can spot him wearing luxury watches in public, he doesn’t have an extravagant collection. If anything, he enjoys borrowing watches from his friends. In a way, he’s showing off his friends’ collections.

Salman Khan has a packed schedule for the next couple of years at least. With Maatrabhumi, he is going to do a film with Dil Raju, Vamshi Paidipally and Nayanthara, and another with Raj and DK. He also recently did a cameo in Riteish Deshmukh’s Raja Shivaji, a scene that shocked fans and had them screaming in joy.
