Salman Khan, who knows how to leave the audience laughing with his witty one-liners, said, “There is a punch in chemistry.”
For context on Salman's remark, Chitrangada Singh suffered an ankle injury during the shooting for a Maatrubhumi song.
Speaking of the injury, Chitrangada said, “I actually thought he (Salman) kicked me,” breaking into a laugh.
Salman was also asked about Chitrangada Singh's qualities as a co-star. Without missing a beat, Salman replied, “No insecurity at all.” His response added another amusing moment to the event.
At the trailer launch, Salman was also asked about the reason behind the delay in the film.
Salman said the team wanted to ensure that the visual effects were up to the mark.
"Today, there are a lot of VFX experts out there who examine every shot of a film. So, with this film, we don't want to allow anyone to zoom in on a scene and criticise its VFX. We want this film to visually blow everyone's mind. It is a beautifully shot film," the superstar said.
"We thought we would be able to complete the film in 45-50 days, but madam got injured, and it took her time to recover. We were earlier supposed to release the film in either January or June, but it was then pushed to August. Now, we will release it on December 4," he added.
