‘Salman doesn’t fudge collections, lot of actors do’ – Shahid Kapoor

In a bold statement to the media, actor Shahid Kapoor has slammed the superstars and producers of the industry for fudging box office collections of their films.

Shahid went on to say that one of the benefits of being a producer is to fudge collections of their own films, something that Salman doesn’t need to do because his films do so well at the box office.

“Have you seen the business Salman’s films do? He doesn’t have to fudge figures. Not everybody does it, but a lot of people do. I have never fudged my figures even now when people have asked me to. Why do it? No point, people know, industry knows, you know. Eventually, everybody gets to know, it’s very embarrassing”

Shahid’s last release ‘Haider’ has collected Rs 58.3 crore (official figure) at the domestic box office.

  • so he means to say if he hd fudged figures then haider and r rajkumar would hv collected 100crs!!!
    basically he is trying to win heart of salman and his fans by saying this

  • Even if you want proof every one can see it
    Trade and producer numbers of Salman movies are almost same at max 20 crore difference that to in kick but if u look at other movies hardly 15 crores difference
    But for certain stars the manipulation is above 50 crores what the hell

  • Seriously? Lets do a quick comparison between producer figures and BOI figures. The lower figure is obviously from trade.

    KICK – 233 cr, 213 cr. Difference 10%.
    Jai ho – 116 cr, 107 cr. Difference 9%.
    Ek Tha Tiger – 199 cr, 184 cr. Difference 8%.

    Bang Bang – 179 cr, 147 cr. Difference 19%.
    Happy New Year – 205 cr, 185 cr. Difference 10%.

    Haider – 59 cr, 47 cr. Difference 25%.

    Stop joking Shahid. Fudging record belongs to you. But collections of your films are so low that no one cares about the collections of your films. It only becomes a controversy when big actors do it. Small actors like your who don’t even have one 100 crore grosser, get away with everything.

    Don’t use Salman for getting cheap publicity.

  • honestly speaking I didn’t expect such a cheap cmnt from him.even though I hv only liked one film of him-haider but I always liked him as a human being.but after this cmnt of his I don’t think I will ever watch any film of him.basically he is sad that haider despite all d rave reviews didnt bxm a blockbuster.
    @sahid after struggling fr 10 yrs in d industry u hv fr d first time delivered 2 consecutive hits-r rajkumar and haider but after giving such crap cmnts I don’t think abyrbody will watch ur mvz and say gd about u

  • I am not understanding how can he say that other actors fudge box office collections . Does he have any proof ? Why there is a need to post such useless statements . Currently he is in the best phase of his carrer with two back to back hits so why he wants to stay in the news by going such controversial comments . Just one thing from him : Get Well Soon . Focus on your career and don’t involve in such activities . Khud itni gandi filmen ki hai aur baat karta hai Stardom . Ab jaa kar Haider ki toh iss sab ki kya zaroorat hai . Why are you doing Chutzpah ?

  • Hahahaha.. Why this flop actor is crying so much? ?
    It clearly shows the jealousy,insecurity and frustration about the movies of other stars. Oiling has become a new trend in bollywood to get support of fans of popular actors. Haha. But, if he doesn’t show fake figure, how the collection of Haider became 47 to 58 crores? BOI declared Haider as an “AVERAGE”.

  • Just when I starting loving Shahid he gives such immaturish statements.If you want to make such illogical statements be specific and don’t say not everybody does it but a lot of people do.

  • Shots fired and even Aamir said the same thing during DHOOM3 promotions about KRRISH3 controversy and BABAJI agreed that KRRISH 3 didn’t cross 200cr at that time

  • SRK fans are getting pissed off because they know deep down SRK manipulated the figure of HNY to 200 Crore. . SRK fans always go crazy whenever one superstar praises a superstar other then srk. Last time it was akshay they were hating on him when he said that, he admires hrithik and salman and now this time its shahid. SRK fans are so desperate, they have created their own world, where they see HNY as a 200 crore grosser. In real world it has yet to cross ek that tiger’s collection.

    Here are the list of superstar SRK fans have abused so far:

    Salman Khan ( They do it every time when his movie is releasing)
    Aamir Khan (Like salman they always abuse Aamir movies, they tried to put down dhoom 3 as they saw that it will break chennai express record easily.
    Hrithik Roshan ( calling him manipulative, surrounding bang bang with negativity)
    Ajay devgan (When SOS was releasing with JTHJ, they were abusing Ajay so much)
    Akshay kumar (They call him 70 crore superstar)

    When hrithik said Krrish 3 collected 244 crore to beat chennai express they were screaming and barking, they were acting as if hrithik had committed a murder. They were constantly accusing Hrithik for manipulating the figure and when SRK did the same for HNY, I love how they are saying HNY collected 200 grosser and SRK hasn’t manipulated the figure.

    Double Standards: SRK fans take this meaning to the new level.

    LOL

  • Who’s this @Taylor Swift returns? Anyway,I agreed with him and @Saksham:
    Couldn’t agree more!
    I somewhere see his “Frustration”, “Insecurity”, “Jealousy” , “Truthlessness”, “Biasedness” in that comment.
    The thing is that He was not satisfied with a business of Haider. With so much praises, positive critics respone, Good WOM, high appriciations, His Haider(58 crores) failed to cross 60 crores which is not even the 1/3 of Bang Bang’s 181 crores plus.

    Plus, he can see his juniors like Ranbir,Ranveer,Varun,Sid,Arjun etc are scoring over him!

    Even he was so frustrated that he was shouting about content of films on a TV show talking against BANG BANG “indirectly”‘! Seems like he has forgot those back to back poor films like Dil Bole Hadippa,Mausam,Teri Meri Kahaani and all time Crap “R Rajkumar” etc who got worse critics reviews than BangBang!

    Ek film acchi Aa gayi toh itne “EGO” and “Attitude”!

    BTW, Haider is an average as far as BOI is considered. So, Get Well Soon!

  • Disappointed! Didn’t expect such a rubbish statement from shahid! Seems like he’s frustrated with his multiple flops but that doesn’t mean he insult other stars!

  • @Neeraj : Couldn’t agree more on your comment. Really only losers crib like this what shahid is doing now. His movies collect in the range of 40-50 Cr so irrespective of how much he manipulates, he can’t touch 100 Cr mark. His frustration is visible from his comments.
    @Bulli Chulli or whatever: Stop barking on every page out of context!!

  • @neeraj. Ur comparison is apt Bro. Really well compiled and written.
    Really don’t know which moron would have disliked Ur comment.
    The only person whom Shahid is targeting is Hro and himself. Lol
    K3 240 CRORES and 176 by trade.
    Bang bang 184 and 147 by trade.

    SRK s movies
    Chennai express 227 and 209 by trade
    Happy New year 204 and 185 by trade

    SALMAN s movies
    Kick 233 and 213 by trade
    Jai Ho 116 and 107 by trade.

    So its clear who does manipulation. But I feel as every one says. Stick to one site and don’t chop and choose according to Ur own requirements

  • He is clearly pointing at SRK!
    Real collections of HNY<180 crore
    Producer figures- 205 crore
    Producers fugded the collections to cross 200 crore

  • @arjun kapoor Shahids film may be underperforming nowadays but at least he is fantastic in 3 fields-
    Looks, Acting and Dancing.
    Arjun Kapoor on the other hand is a failure at the box office, and is a Big Zero in terms of looks, acting and dancing.

  • Faltu chutzpah done by Shahid,was’nt needed!! Basically justifying why he does’nt has a 100cr film..

    @aeeyy: Yes i am still in high doubt regarding K3 to be fair,but really I can’t trust BOI also…244cr might be too much but i think it might have done over 200cr,why should i believe BOI fig. when I don’t trust them for any figure..I am and will be always ambiguous regarding K3.It was a huge blockbuster,but could’nt celebrate its success due to this.

  • I don’t know why people bash Shahid Kapoor! He gives a bold statement. So, many fans of those actors who manipulate BO figures won’t like this straight forward Statement.

    I won’t name the actors who manipulate more than 25 Crores, 40 Crores & 60 Crores respectively. People know it. That’s what Shahid tryinyg to bash delikver.

    But I will say one thing. CE didn’t break ETT first day as Indicine has said it. It has just manipulated by a few lakhs to break ETT first day BO so as to make a better and create free publicity!
    If Salman really wanted, he would manipulated by a few more crores for ETT to break the records of 3 Idiots.

    @Neeraj,
    Kick
    Trade Figures (boi): 215 Crores, not 213 Crores
    Producers: 233 Crores
    Diff: 18 Crores

    Jai Ho
    Trade figures: 109 Crores
    Producers: 112 Crores
    Diff: 3 Crores

    CE
    Trade: 208 Crores
    Producers: 227 Crores
    Diff: 19 Crores!

    I won’t name others. I have screenshots of what I am talking about!

  • lol..since his movies dont collect more than 60 crores…he barks like a dog now….what was the need to support Salman…since there is difference in collections of his movies as well…had he blamed everyone there was some point…..he just lost his respect…

    When crap movie like dhoom 3 can collect 280 crores, why can’t movies like krish 3 can do 244 , Kick can do 231 crores, CE can do 227 crores though they all were craps but it was due to hype and starpower that they collect so much….

    what proof/logic he has to say so…

    Poor shahid movies dont collect 60+
