Not only are these two close friends in real life but they have collaborated on two superhit films -- Ek Tha Tiger and Bajrangi Bhaijaan -- and are about to embark on their third feature film together.
"No one says no to Salman," says the superstar's buddy. "When he asked Kabir do a small part in Sultan, Kabir agreed. He has to play himself in the film. Salman had similarly convinced his pal Sajid Nadiadwala to turn director for Kick."
Kabir, we hear, may agree to do further acting roles if his cameo in Sultan works.
"It’s not a full-fledged role. Just a small appearance for fun," Kabir says with a laugh.
