There is no better place than a movie set for an actor, and the set of a Salman Khan film is hard to top. Ask actor Muzammil Ibrahim, who plays a key part in director Vamshi Paidipally's action film, the working title of which is SVC63. Personally, he is over the moon to be sharing the frame with his childhood idol.

"I never imagined that I'd get to work with him. When he came on the set, I was like, ‘Wow! I am going to be in the same frame as Salman sir,'" Ibrahim told mid-day over a call from the film's set.

For him, the first day of working with Khan was filled with awe. With every passing day, his admiration for the superstar has only grown. He shared, "I am a crazy fan of Salman sir. So much so that I can't even talk when he is around. I am bursting inside to tell him so many stories - for instance, how I used to tie a bandana just like him, or how I would walk like him."

Bagging one of the most anticipated films of 2027, also starring Nayanthara, is a win for Ibrahim. The actor believes his work in Special Ops helped him land the project. "I think Special Ops was a big trigger; my work in the show was appreciated and people took notice of it," he said.

On working with Nayanthara:
"I have missed [watching] so many South films. So, I caught up on some of them. Nayanthara is fantastic. You respect the artiste more once you know them personally," said Muzammil Ibrahim
