An actor of Salman’s stature can’t play a small role: Sohail Khan on Freaky Ali

Filmmaker Sohail Khan has said his brother Salman wanted to play a role – any role – in the recently released ‘Freaky Ali’, but the director had to deny him an opportunity because an actor of Salman’s stature can’t be playing a minor role.

“Bhai (Salman) wanted a role, any role, in the film… I had to say a firm NO” Sohail said.

“How can an actor of Salman’s stature play a small part? He will be a distraction in every frame that he appears. Instead, I requested him to lend us the name of his production house and its infrastructure, so that we would have a good backing for our endeavour”

Freaky Ali released in theatres on September 9 with Baar Baar Dekho. While both films failed to make a mark at the ticket window, Freaky Ali will recover costs when all revenue sources are factored in.

  • so freaky ali able to recover costs despite clash n negative review just because of salman,s name in trailer this is called starpower of highest order of bhaijaan where as bbd is disaster

  • Yes. Exactly. The megastar deserves the mega showcase…
    Else, it will go in waste.. Finally good that you have realized it…

  • But please if you want to make your film starring your brother, just produce it and hire a very good director of his stature… Have u shelved the idea of Sher Khan yet?

    But happy for you that FA emerged as a success.
    Made with 10 Crores and earned more than that.

  • @Abhishek, yes he said Actor. But your icon the flop actor Abhishek is neither deserved to be called an actor nor deserves to be as a star. Lol

    If you doubt Salman’s acting prowess, watch MPK, Khamoshi, HDDCS, Tere Naam, Dabangg, Bajrangi, Sultan etc… Still jealous souls are too blind to see to his brilliant acts

  • @Abhishek Bachchan, just calling something JOKE doesn’t make actually make it a joke. You made a joke out of yourself out of jealousy and ignorance. That’s pathetic.

  • The movie would have been a joke for salman seeing its stardom….
    Just imagine salman reciting chaddi chaddi chaddi chaddi chaddi……
    Hahahahah

  • @Anand The Fake…Just Because My name Is Abhishek doesn’t mean I m a Abhishek Bacchan Fan U Idiot…The whole world knows Bhai is a Non actor…The only place Our Bhai acts well Is in courts…And U know what Abhishek Bacchan is still a better actor than our criminal Bhai

  • @Anand The Fake…Few Days ago sohail khan out of nowhere told that Hrithik can’t act like Nawazuddin in 10 years also…U tell him that He Himself and his two brothers can’t act like Hrithik in 100 lives also

  • He no where near to be called an actor, because a real actor thinks above stardom n must play a role no matter how small that is its the attitude n humbleness which makes you big actor not your stardom and thats y Salman can never be a good actor

  • @Anand the fake…Irfan khan- Salman khan should come last in the acting department….Everybody makes fun of our Non actor criminal bhai

  • @abhishek bachan u did not see tere naam bajrangi bhaijaan sultan dabangg how any one can become biggest star without acting he is most natural actor that,s why he is biggest star where as so called actors in comparison of his stardom u are just jealous soul n nothing lol on u

  • Freaky Ali is a half baked fun film… entertaining in bits but over all boring… Only the scenes between Nawaz and Jas Arora are worth counting…

  • To reach the statute and stardom of Salman Khan, Abhishek, Ranbir, Hrithik, Irfan or our so called King Khan will have to take a rebirth again. Haters will always bark .. Tubelight and Tige Zinda Hai will come ,, again pin drop silence among haters … LOLZZZZZZZ !!

    than why people come and watch salman film if he is non actor why not they come for irfan nawaz srk film
    if they r actors
    and all the srk fans i want to tell u that salman made the eid festival big
    before wanted no one think that this Festival will become big one day

  • @Madhuri Dixit Salman khan did great acting in Bajrangi bhaijaan? Lol to ur film knowledge…Yes it was a great movie and it was all kabir khans’ work..Salman khan was average…If that was great acting then Imran khan Is a legendary actor lol

  • Sallu saw the movie and felt that movie may earn few more cores if he plays even small role but his brother is even more dumb than sallu and said a firm no… Lol

  • srk fans support srk only on social media but when thier king film realeased they watched in pirated version
    and when salman film realeased they will watched in theater along with family because salman film r pure family entertainer
    and they know the fact

  • @Madhuri dixit…Our Bhai has been completely overshadowed by each & every actor in his films…Harshali Malhotra and Nawazuddin ate our bhai in acting in B.B and These people think Salman khan is a great actor Lol

  • Lol now! Hum ne Abhishek Bachchan ko, kuch kyun kehdia, uski dharam patni, ASH bhi awaas utaa ne laga, humari khilaaf..Lol
    Yes, Abhishek Bachchan, Irrfan Khan >>> the overacting kingu.
    And Nawaz >>> Hrithik (in terms of acting)
    And your icon <<< A Woodlog in terms of acting

    (Note: Sohail was being sarcastic about Hrithik's dancing skill. You dumbos may never get this because you are born to understand vulgar and sexist jokes like 'When I Speak, I like Women to be Lying down.'
    Sohail meant Nawaz is a so horrible dancer that Hrithik can never become like him even he (Hrithik) trains for 10 years).

  • @Rock baabul…Obama in his speech said Srk Dialogue and U r talking abt stardom? When will Our criminal Bhai act like the actors u mentioned ?…I dont think in this life…Maybe some 10000000 lives more? Lol

  • @Dixit don’t mind. ASH is upset because I bashed Abhishek Bachchan. Else, she too knows what she was saying were rants.

    She knows the FILMFARE magazine was born after the births of hindi cinema and acting in films. And the magazine earns their bread and butter running stories on them.

    Hence, the filmware award is not a parameter to measure one’s acting prowess.

  • @Rocky baabul In terms of acting Our Bhai can be compared to only 2 people…That is his own 2 non actor brothers Like himself Lol

  • The Non Actor is seen in any film if it is going to be released on Eid only…

    How can anybody expect a Non Actor to come rather than Eid?

    Joke of the century, LOL…
