Bollywood actor Nikitin Dheer recently talked about working with superstars. Nikitin worked with Shahrukh Khan in ‘Chennai Express’ and Salman Khan in ‘Dabangg 2’.
While talking about Salman’s stardom in an interview, Nikitin said that once such a huge crowd had gathered to get a glimpse of him that even fifty bodyguards were not enough for his security.

Salman surrounded by crowd, 50 bodyguards deployed to rescue him
Nikitin said, ‘We were shooting for Dabangg 2. It was Sunday and the climax scene was to be shot. Salman Khan came to the set with about 50 bodyguards and the villagers came to know that Salman had come. You will not believe that such a huge crowd gathered around Salman that even 50 bodyguards were unable to handle the situation. In such a situation, some actors present on the set also had to jump in to protect Salman. The next day, more security had to be increased for Salman and many cars were also ordered. This is star power. It is the love of the audience which cannot be bought with money.’
Praising Salman, Nikitin said that despite having such a huge fan following, he knows that fame is like a double-edged sword.

Nikitin told that when he once asked Salman how he handles so much star power and fame, he said, ‘When I go through bad times, these are the same people who abuse me too, so in such a situation you have to move ahead by keeping an eye on both sides of the coin.’
Nikitin shared an anecdote related to ‘Chennai Express’
Narrating the story of the first day of shooting of ‘Chennai Express’, Nikitin said, ‘On the first day I was a little scared because no one knew me. Deepika Padukone was such a big star and Shahrukh sir is a superstar, Rohit Shetty has his own aura and his sets are very big. I was standing in a corner but instead of calling me to him, Shahrukh himself brought his chair and sat next to me. He has no pride of being a star.’
