In the latest interview, while reminiscing and talking about shooting for ‘Lucky: No Time for Love,’ filmmakers Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru recalled how chaotic Salman Khan’s parties at the time used to get. The duo, known for ‘Sanam Teri Kasam,’ recently shared in the interview that the actor’s parties used to have a lot of alcohol, and they usually had to warn their crew not to drink much there beforehand.

Radhika Rao and Vinay Sapru get candid about shooting with Salman KhanThe duo recently got together and was featured in a popular online channel’s episode. In their interview with Hindi Rush, the filmmakers talked about Salman Khan and their experience of working with the actor during ‘Lucky: No Time for Love.’

While talking about the set, they shared that their Russian crew members used to boast about their drinking skills to everyone and were overconfident in their ability. Once, Salman Khan had invited them for one of his notorious parties, to which the directors had advised the crew against. They shared that even after their warning, the crew members did not listen and suffered massively the next day.

Russian crew members did not pay heed to their warning and ended up sufferingWhile talking about the incident, they shared that “We told them not to go. We told them that they wouldn’t come to work the next day. They said, ‘We are Russians; nobody can out-drink us.’ We said, ‘All the best; this is Salman Khan’s party; don’t underestimate…’ The vodka never stopped flowing, and the people kept drinking. They wanted to prove that they are the best in the world when it comes to vodka consumption.”

Radhika also recalled, sharing that “There were people who rolled down the steps; Russian crew members. When they came the next day, half of them were late, and half of them were holding their heads. Russians are very disciplined; they don’t like to be unprofessional. They said that the most shameful thing was that Salman never even swayed. He was standing like a rock. They said, “All of us were rolling down, throwing up, and he was also drinking with us, but nothing happened to him’.”

Salman Khan remained unfazed through and throughAnother thing that the directors shared was that while Salman Khan was alongside their crew members drinking and partying, he was nowhere near as affected as everyone else. While many crew members were late or unwell, the actor showed up to set in top shape and ready to take on the camera.

Beyond all this, Salman Khan has had a long-standing relationship with drinking in his life. The actor has struggled with alcohol in the past and tries his best to stay away from it. In an old interview, the actor’s father, Salim Khan, talked about his son’s drinking habits. He had shared that “Whenever Salman has a strong urge, he pours out a drink and keeps the glass in front of him. But he never takes a sip. He just sits with it, and after a while the urge subsides.”
