New Delhi: Director Kabir Khan says his association with Salman Khan helped him cement his position as a filmmaker in the industry and he would love to team with the Bollywood superstar on yet another project. His comments come days after Salman announced the sequel to their film Bajrangi Bhaijaan with veteran screenwriter KV Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote the story for the 2015 original.
The comedy drama featured Salman as a man, who embarks on a journey to take a mute six-year-old Pakistani girl, (Harshaali Malhotra) separated in India from her parents, back to her hometown in the neighbouring country.
Asked about whether he will return behind the camera for the follow-up of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Kabir said it's all up in the air.
"Ultimately, it's about sitting on a script. It's about Salman and I sort of equally getting excited about it and seeing if we can do that. I would give my right arm to do a film with Salman again. My association with him has been really good for me. I've learnt a lot. I can very honestly say that my position in the film industry today would not be what it is if it wasn't for my collaboration with Salman. But specifically about 'Bajrangi...', we have not got down to that level," the filmmaker said.
Kabir started his career working in documentary films and then made his feature film directorial debut in 2006 with Kabul Express, starring John Abraham and Arshad Warsi.
