However, in a recently released biography, King Of Bollywood Shah Rukh written by Anupama Chopra, the actor talks about Salem’s phone calls.
Shah Rukh says Salem tried to pressurise him to do certain films on communal grounds.
“What kind of a Muslim are you? You refused to work with a Muslim. Shouldn't you be doing something for your community?” Salem used to say reveals Shah Rukh.
However, Shah Rukh says that he did not flinch. He apparently replied to Salem.
“I have worked with Mansoor Khan, Abbas Mastan and Aziz Mirza. I am also working with Mahesh Bhatt whose mother is a Muslim,” says Shah Rukh.
According to the book, Salem was impressed by Shah Rukh's composed answers and decided not to attack him.
Security was beefed up at Shah Rukh’s residence after the incident. But the phone calls did not stop.
Salem did not resort to extortion but kept asking Shah Rukh to do certain films.
The book also claims that impressed by the actor's courage, Salem finally let him off.
