The 51-year-old actor, who has collaborated with Bhansali on films such as "Khamoshi", "Hum Dil Chuke Sanam" and "Saawariya", said Bhansali was a great filmmaker.
"No decision should be made without seeing the film #Padmavati. Sanjay Leela Bhansali makes lovely films and there is nothing wrong with his movies," Salman told Network 18.
The actor added that only the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has the power to decide if the film is suitable for release.
Bhansali has been facing trouble since he started shooting for the movie. The set of the movie was vandalised twice -- in Jaipur and Kolhapur -- and the director was roughed up by members of Karni Sena during the Jaipur schedule of the film earlier this year.
Bhansali has already issued an appeal to clarify that there is no dream sequence between Deepika's Padmavati and Ranveer's Khilji as claimed by Rajput groups.
