Hrithik Roshan and Salman Khan recently took social media by storm as they reunited on screen for a beverage advertisement directed by Ali Abbas Zafar. However, according to a report in ETimes, the superstars never actually shared the set while filming.

Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan's still from their recent ad.

Why Hrithik-Salman shot the advertisement separately

An industry insider told the portal that, although the brand was keen on featuring Hrithik and Salman together, coordinating their schedules proved to be a major challenge since both were committed to their respective upcoming projects. As neither could adjust their schedules, shooting separately was the only option. Therefore, director Ali Abbas Zafar ensured a seamless integration of their individual sequences.

Fans went wild over the advertisement. One internet user wrote, "Unexpected collab." Another commented, "Oh my god! This gave me goosebumps." Another wrote, "War 2 and Tiger 3 foreshadowing. I love it." One more comment read, "Looking like the best duo."
