'Salman doesn't follow protocols'

I have not read the script, but Vijayendra sir will [always] write something exciting. The idea of [creating] a sequel never excites me. I will never make a sequel to my film only because [the original] was successful. If [I find] a great story, I will be happy to make one." The filmmaker further added, "Salman doesn't follow [protocols] of formal announcements, he talks from his heart."
