Salman worried about fate of 'Jai Ho'
Share The Knowledge
Superstar Salman Khan, known for breaking box
office records with his every film, says he is concerned about the box
office fate of his upcoming release 'Jai Ho' as he really likes the film
and wants it to do well.
"It is said that the most
favourite film of the actor hasn't worked, so that fear is also there.
So far it's not happened with me, but there will be a time that it will
happen. I hope this doesn't happen with me with this film, because I
really like it. The film has a lot of action, comedy, romance etc, and yet is not in the same format as my earlier films," he said.
'Jai Ho', directed by Sohail Khan, stars Salman, Tabu, Danny Denzongpa,
newcomer Daisy Shah, Sana Khan, Suniel Shetty and others. The film, a
remake of Telugu flick 'Stalin', is set to release on January 24.
Earlier, in an interview to , Salman had said that the space of masala
entertainer films is explored too much in Bollywood and the genre will
die some day owing to repetition. The actor said 'Jai Ho' did not have frivolous action.
"The 'Wanted' format is considered as an action film, whereas it is
not. They are films with motive, drive and huge emotional content behind
them. There is a story to it, it is not random, frivolous action that
you kick and the villains are flying out. That format looked good, the
films that came in that time like 'Wanted', 'Singham', 'Dabangg' became
huge hits," he said.
Salman feels the movies which are being
made in this space now have very little work for heroes while the
fighters are doing more. On the other side, the hero in his films is
doing everything - from climbing, jumping, fighting, romancing to
comedy.
"I have been going through huge problems trying to do
all that (action). At 48, to move from 'Ek Tha Tiger', to 'Dabangg', to
all these films, the action is on a different level. There is lot of
physical action and I am still doing it despite not being allowed to.
They are paying for the film... so we are doing as much as we can do,"
he said.
Salman said while during a stunt for 'Bodyguard', a
cable snapped and he fell from 20 feet height on a car, but luckily he
was not hurt badly. Similarly, during the stunts of 'Jai Ho', a car had
to come and bang into Salman and he had to roll over it and hit the
windscreen.
"I controlled myself but had I gone with a little
more force... I would have gone through the windscreen and would have
received a lot of stitches. With the kind of stunts that we do in our
movies, anything could go wrong. We try to be careful as much we can,"
he added.
