Previously, Salman Khan had set in motion his dream project
- 'Salman Talkies'. Salman Talkies would be a chain of theatres, where movie
tickets will cost lesser compared to the other theatre chains. The tickets
would be tax-free. Also, children from underprivileged backgrounds will get the
tickets free of cost.
Salman told that the project is taking longer because there
are a lot of changes and modifications made in the past two years, and also,
that he needs to be very careful regarding what he is doing. He said that he
needs to pay extra attention to even the minute details so that the venture is
successful.
While speaking to a daily, Salman revealed, “I had a lot of
plans for the theatre chain but it’s taking me longer because I need to be very
careful. There are a lot of logistical details involved so that the project
doesn’t shut down."
The 52-year-old actor also revealed that the theatres will
not be in the upscale cities like Bandra or Juhu but on the outskirts of
Mumbai.
Salman revealed his desire to inaugurate each theatre
himself. He told, "There are so many things I want to do in the exhibitor
and distributor space, and by turning distributor with Race 3, I have taken my
first step in that direction. This chain adds another aspect to my portfolio.”
The actor-producer has recently turned distributor for his forthcoming
movie Race 3. The movie was supposed to be distributed by Eros International
but they had bailed out in the last minute. This is where Khan stepped in. He
will also be distributing brother-in-law Aayush Sharma's forthcoming film
Loveratri.
He revealed, "We were in talks with Eros for the longest
time. Eventually, we reached a phase where the terms and conditions were not
met, and the deal fell through. But something good came out of it. I am
distributing Race 3 and will also distribute Aayush’s debut film."
