According to Thirunavukkarasu, one of the key qualities that sets Salman apart from other actors is his authenticity on screen. “He has a very honest way of emoting. There were moments on set when I told him, ‘Just be yourself; that’s more powerful than acting,’” he said. The cinematographer also praised Salman’s unpretentious approach to his craft, explaining that the actor doesn’t concern himself with the usual distractions of camera angles, lighting, or his appearance—details that often preoccupy many other stars. “Salman doesn’t worry about how the camera is positioned or how he looks—something most actors are fixated on,” Thirunavukkarasu added.
