Mumbai, Aug 14: Remember how Hrithik had waxed eloquent about Salman Khan being the ideal Prem? "I know that I can't surpass Salman Khan, who will remain the eternal Prem for Soorajji's films. He is such a good hearted and sensitive human being. He exudes a certain charm about him that I feel is required to play a character like Prem," he said during the promos of Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon. And guess what, now it's Salman's turn to praise Hrithik.
Our macho hero, who is supposed to star in Sooraj Barjatiya's next, is simply bowled over by Hrithik's performance in Koi... Mil Gaya. "I quite liked him in MPKDH. If he has said all that about me, I'd ask everyone to watch him in KMG. I have watched the film and what a performance Hrithik has put up. He has put all of us to shame. If Bollywood actors can put in even 10 per cent of what Hrithik has done in KMG, it will be a great job done," Salman said. One wondered whether we were listening to sound bytes from a mutual admiration society. But no, Salman was quick to brush aside any claims of being modest. "I am just being truthful. When I say he has put all of us to shame I just don't mean our generation of actors. I am also talking about stars of yesteryears!" he added. Now is Hrithik listening?
