Bollywood actor Salman Khan and filmmaker Subhash Ghai collaborated on the 2008 film Yuvvraaj. However, in a recent interview with Times Now, the filmmaker revealed that the two had a scuffle before they worked together, during which Salman allegedly abused him, and the two even got into a physical altercation. The situation escalated to such an extent that Salman's father, Salim Khan, eventually had to intervene.

Recalling the fight that eventually led to the two becoming friends and later collaborators, Subhash Ghai said, "Before the film, we had a fight. Hatha paai hui (we had a scuffle). Then his father scolded him. We were at a party. Salman was high. He was saying something wrong when I told him, ‘Don’t say that.’ He had some issue with me. He asked me, ‘Why did you do this or that?’ I said it is my decision as a director. He started abusing [me], I asked him not to do that. We had a spat there."
The filmmaker recalled how Salim Khan intervened the following day. He said, "The very next morning, Salim saheb called me and told me that Salman told all of these things to his mother. He said, ‘I have scolded him.’ He sent Salman to my house to apologise to me. And he came. He politely apologised, after which I fell in love with him because he respected his father so much. I let go of that issue. We often visited each other. After that, we did a film together."
