B-town superstar Salman Khan denied to take credit for the success of his co-star Shah Rukh Khan's Pathaan. For the unversed, the Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan actor had a special appearance in Pathaan, which was lauded by their fans as well as followers. However, in a recent interview, Salman Khan clarified that the film credit goes to only and only Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra.

In a conversation with Rajat Sharma during the latter's Aap Ki Adalat episode, Salman said, "This credit can't be taken from Shah Rukh." When the journalist said the Dabangg actor made Pathaan a hit, the latter chimed in and said, "Bilkul nahi, bilkul nahi sir. Yeh credit Shah Rukh Khan se koi cheen nahi sakta, Aditya Chopra se koi cheen nahi sakta. Shah Rukh ne bohot accha kaam kiya hai. Yeh sab fans, Shah Rukh ki film dekhne ke liye taras rahe the aur ek right time, right mauke pe yeh film aayi. I think it is the biggest hit of the Hindi film industry (Not at all. Nobody can take the credit away from Shah Rukh Khan and Aditya Chopra. Shah Rukh has done a really good job. His fans were waiting for his film and it arrived at a right time)."

Earlier, in a conversation with Hindustan Times, director Siddharth Anand talked about casting SRK and Salman together. Siddharth said, "I told Salman to shout ‘bhaag Pathaan bhaag’ and told him to do it like ‘bhaag Arjun bhaag (from Karan Arjun).’ It wasn’t in the script. It was funny and I had to convince Salman to do it. It was so much fun."

The filmmaker further noted, "Salman laughed. He said ‘You are not serious.’ I said ‘Yes I want you to do it’. He did it so well. He is like clay. He is so sweet and just needs love and pampering. He got a lot of that from me. He did exactly what I told him to do."
