Salman Khan is hyped amongst the megastars of our generation
but who does Salman consider a superstar?
When questioned about his take on stardom, Salman praised
Akshay Kumar. He told to a famous tabloid, "Today, when they say
(superstars) I think there is Aamir, Shah Rukh, me, and Akshay Kumar. We do
fewer films — I do two films a year, Aamir does one film in three years, Akshay
does four-five films a year. So you do the math. The man who works that hard
and makes the maximum amount of money, and supports those many production
companies, those many units, and those many directors every four months is a
bigger star."
When questioned if he thinks that he can't do as numerous movies
as Akshay, Salman disclosed, "I used to do that. I think Akki is the only
one who understood that back in the day, char-paanch lakh ke liye itni jyaada
mehnat kar rahe the, ab crores ke liyeutni mehnat nahi kar rahe hain... When we
were paid so little per film, we did more films. Now we get paid so much more
for a film, and we are doing fewer films."
Does Salman have fewer releases so that his fans will flock
to the theatre more and the actor responded, "I think if you come with a
good film every two months, people will want to go and see it. Two months is 60
days. That’s a lot. But the film has got to be better than the earlier one. So
this phase is ki aai thi ek superb picture, uskodhundhla karo and then you come
up with another one. That is how I think. So, I do about two-and-a-half films a
year. I am going to up the number to three next year."
Salman will next be seen in Kabir Khan's Tubelight which is scheduled
to release on June 23, 2017.
