"When I signed the contract, I told Salman I am doing 'Bigg Boss' in Marathi. He was more than happy and is hopeful I will enjoy doing it. The only thing he told me is to be understanding with the contestants," Manjrekar told PTI.
Manjrekar and Salman have worked in a number of films together like "Wanted", "Dabangg", "Ready" and "Jai Ho", among others.
The 59-year-old actor says he would love to have the "Sultan" star on his version of "Bigg Boss".
"I told the team since 'Race 3' (which features Salman) is releasing in June, we should call him to promote the film. It will be a great thing for the show, it will get a boost."
"There is no script and I just have to react to what they (contestants) are saying or to the given situation, it is the greatest workshop for any actor. I know it is going to be a big task."
