Did You Know: Danny Denzongpa refused to work with Salman Khan for 23 years, rejected scripts starring the Sultan actor

Danny Denzongpa is widely considered one of B-town's most biggest actors who shined for four decades alongside some of Bollywood's iconic names.

Danny Denzongpa made his debut with the 1971 film Mere Apne, and soon established himself as one of Bollywood's most bankable stars.

However, the actor refused to work with Salman Khan for 23 long years.

It is said that during the shooting of the film Sanam Bewafa, Danny reached the sets on time as he was a man of discipline. However, Salman reached the sets very late and kept Danny waiting for hours.

By the time Salman entered the sets, Danny lost both his patience and cool and reportedly reprimanded the much junior Salman in front of everyone. Danny was so miffed with Salman’s lack of discipline that he did not work with Salman for 23 years. If reports are to be believed, he used to reject scripts which had Salman as the lead. The actors finally patched up after two decades and finally shared screen space in Jai Ho in 2014.

Danny Denzongpa was most recently seen in the film Uunchai alongside other stalwarts like Amitabh Bachchan and Anupam Kher, while Salman will soon be seen in the upcoming Kisi Ki bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3.
