Superstar Salman Khan made an appearance on the much talked about show; ETC Bollywood Business with Trade expert Komal Nahta. He was on the show for his upcoming and eagerly awaited movie Dabangg2 which releases on 21st December. Komal Nahta talks to Salman about Dabangg, Dabangg2, Katrina Kaif and Shah Rukh Khan! This episode of Bollywood Business will be aired exclusively on ETC on 18th December at 8:30 PM.
Salman Khan today is the only actor who is bigger than the film he is doing. Salman starts by talking about how the script is the backbone of any movie and emphasizes on the fact that nobody is above the script. He highlights the fact that any film he does, is his responsibility, because the audience comes to the theatres to watch him, which is also the reason why he now puts his foot down if the director has a different take. He believes that the film is ultimately his responsibility and agrees to take the blame for a movie if it does not do well. He goes on to talk about how approximately 150 people are involved in making an average person a star- be it the makeup artist, music director or the light technicians.
Salman talks about how in today’s day and age if someone with the amount of talent that he has, comes into the industry, that person would never stand a chance. Looking back he feels that the time he entered the industry the competition was much lesser than it is today. We were idiots, today everyone looks good says Salman.
Getting personal on the show he reveals that he does not watch any of Katrina’s movies as he does not want to give her his opinion before her film releases, infact he has not even seen her latest hit Jab tak hai jaan. “I don’t like to see Katrina’s films and tell her she is not outstanding, for me a Madhuri or a Sridevi is outstanding. So there is no point disappointing her before her release” says Salman.
On being questioned about marriage he says he is a very difficult person to live with and he hasn’t thought about marriage till now. When it has to happen it will happen. Komal Nahta asks Salman as to why he thinks he is so difficult to live with to which he exclaims you should ask my ex why I am difficult to live with!! He also goes ahead to clear the air about him and Shah Rukh patching up at the premiere party of Jab tak hai jaan and clarifies that no such thing happened. They just happened to be under the same roof.
Discussing Dabangg 2 he speaks on how it is the second half of Dabangg and the plus point of the movie is that the romance between husband and wife starts after marriage. Salman also elaborates on why Arbaaz Khan is directing the sequel and not Dabangg’s director Abhinav Kashyap.
