Director-Producer Karan Johar showered his warm wishes on Salman and also teased an upcoming collaboration with the superstar after 25 years.

KJo expressed gratitude for finding his perfect Aman in Salman for the film.
KJo penned a heartfelt letter, walking down a memory lane, “25 years ago I was at a party lost and confused. A massive movie star came up to me and asked me why I was standing by a corner... I told him I had been to several actors for a part but was politely rejected.’
He reminisced about how he narrated the story to Salman, adding ‘The superstars sister is close to me so he graciously said she had spoken highly of my script and that I should meet him the next day to narrate the film to him...In my wildest dreams I never imagined I would even get the opportunity of a narration ...I went with a prayer in my heart and a deep desire for a miracle and narrated the first of the film like my life depended on it...(sic).”
He mentioned how Salman without listening about his character agreed to get onboard to KKHH, Karan’s directorial Debut Film. He added, “He (Salman) looked at me at the interval point ( by then I was looking like I was at the Sahara desert and water could keep me alive ) kindly offered me water and said “ I’’m on!!! “ I was perplexed and said but “ you are in the second half” you haven’t heard it?
KJo thanked Salman’s Sister Alvira, which made Salman do the film, Adding What Salman Told him “ I love your father and my sister will kill me if I don’t do this movie” and that’s how Salman Khan was in KKHH.
“I'm thankful to Alvira and my father's support, ensuring I had the perfect Aman and Salman Khan in my debut film,” Karan said
He concluded by writing, “Gestures and stories like this just don’t happen today! Happy birthday Salman ! So much love and respect for you always. Also 25 years later we will finally have a story to tell again. not saying any more than that happy happy birthday,”
