‘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.

  • Just one good performance in a decade by him and the over-confident Shahid Kapoor makes such attacking statement on his seniors. How does he knows collections are fudged has he done a diploma in box office collection studies. Or has he even seen that even his films collections are fudged as per many sites. Shame on him. Cheap publicity stunt to use Salman. But I am sure that even Salman fans will bash him up for this.

  • He said nothing but Truth !!!!!!!!! I wont name anyone but in such a industry when crores of rupees are at stake producers wont find doing this to make news / buzz about big collections to attract more audiences !!!!!!!!!!! Stop bashing Shahid, fans who are bashing are trying to prove that their idols indulge in fudging !!!!!!!!!

  • True Shahid hr is the only guy in bollywood who does manipulation in the netire inustry @nipun and to all hr fans well that is why you guys are barking her according to boi k3 did 176cr or bb did 141cr both couldn’t cross so both couldn’t cross yzhd so now hr is behind ranbir and you are comparing hr with khans huh.

  • @shahid well said bro now i am 1000% confirm k3 and bang bang collections was fake as there was 60cr difference in k3 while 42cr in bang bang but real collections of krrish3 was 190cr and for bang bang it was 155cr and that is clear as industry insiders can,t say false so i am agree shahid.

  • I guess success has gone to his head and the same thing happened to him after the success of jab we met I don’t know why people are pointing their fingers on srk.The differences between producer’s figure and boi is around 20 crores which is 2-3 crores more than kick.He is clearly referring to Hrithik because he is jealous of bang bang’s success.

  • Shahid gonna rocks,.
    Singham return collection
    Producer figure is 141cr
    Trade figure is 140cr
    Indicine figure is 139cr.

    Note, reliance entertainment company never fudge collection examples SR, HOLIDAY, BESHARAM and DABANGG etc etc…

    Here very strange collection of Bang Bang and HNY. We all know collection of BB and HNY.so i didn’t to write those movie collection.

  • @rajesh, for a while accept k3, bang bang fig. r Fudged, so u or shahid gonna pay tax for it over 16cr for movie which is not even his fees for film :D dont tell me that fox star becm fake n smaller than Boi :D and fox fudged collection… :D come up to k3, roshan’s family has a property of 5.6k crores n they fudge fig of k3….??

Why they didnt fudge k3’s ovrseas collections to break ce record…?? #salute for incridible jokes… May b shahid forgot he or vb fudged haiders collection… :D

  • @rajesh: Look at me and Look at you ! We Hrofans don’t need one’s support to bash an actor like Shahid. While you have mentioned names of khans and Ranbir to bash Hro and to support your idol Shahid. Your comment itself shows the stardom of flop shahid!
    Coming to the collections, BOI declared Haider as an average. So consider Haider also a failure! Lol.
    And as for Krrish 3 and BangBang, i will consider the producers’ figure. I am the King of my own choice. I am free to support those figures whom i want! I don’t care if a crap site shameless underreports The collections of k3 and bangBang!
    According to producers,biggest grossers are
    1. Dhoom 3- 284 crores
    2. Krrish 3- 244 crores
    3. Kick- 233 crores
    4. CE- 227 Crores
    5. HNY

    according to BOI,
    1.Dhoom 3
    2. Kick
    3. Chennai Express
    4. 3 idiots
    5. Krrish 3( 176 hindi with 13 crores regional so total 189 crores)
    6. Ett 185 crores
    7. HNY (176 crores with regional 7-8 crores, so total 183 crores)
    8. YJHD

    Now, tell me how k3 is behind yjhd? Ofcourse, you don’t have reply.

  • Even after the success of JWM he turned arrogant and that was the reason he couldn’t make it big despite working for so many years.Hope he doesn’t make the same mistake again and try to be humble like Ranbir

  • Shahid refer to opinion mate idol and Charle coming 300cr strom idol.
    Above my comments sentence refers to ‘i’m indirectly said to two bollywood star, one of Greek street boy and other one is self proclaim king.
    Anyway, indicine, when baby trailer come?

  • ohh common shahid..i like you but this statement is totally bull shit..it is not about salman srk or hritik or any other stars..you are simply blaming the..all supertars..respect other works also..don’t give statement to make salman happy..dont forget you are living in one family i.e bollywood..so don’t hurt your family members..

  • Here my opinion;
    Hr is best actor for jadoo nagar of greek street.
    Hr can do anything expect bo collection.

    Warmly Welcome to indicine Miss toilet swaft return.

  • Jai ho shahid bhai, you rocking nowadays. Waiting for your all movie. This year you definitely get filmfare award for best actor.

  • i am damn sure he hinted towards bang bang..very bad shahid mind ur own business..salman hrithik akki srk esab superstars haa teri aukad bhi nehi haa esab kehne ki

  • @Ace and @JC U all are hyprocrites. U all are claiming that HNY(BOI) = 185 and HNY (producers) = 205 is manipulation of 20 crores but even ur own bhai manipulated more with Kick:

    Kick (BOI) = 212 cr, Kick (producer) = 234 cr, manipulation = 22cr

    So lallu has manipulated even more than SRK u double standard ppl!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @js. Dude check boi figures and then talk.
    According to boi Happy New year s Hindi net is 179 CRORES and regional collections are around 6 CRORES. So that’s around 185 CRORES . So the difference is only around 17 CRORES. So if u think he is pointing towards SRK then u need to get Urself checked and admitted at the mental asylum.
    @anand. Rofl at Ur comments. ” if he would have wanted” . Ett s net is 180 CRORES according to boi. So Theres already 19 CRORES difference.
    And as far as kick goes its not 215 but 213 according to boi.
    @ace. Guess u should have named Urself joker of the packs rather than ace. That would suit u better. Pointing out other fans flaws and putting on Srkians. Ha ha ha ha. Guess u need to get anhedonic behaviour checked and corrected. Lol

  • On the Contrary.

    SALMAN mostly does Telugu, Tamil REMAKES after REMAKES after REMAKES.

    No need to fudge collection if you are making Regional ATBB or BBs with much bigger budget for wider audiences.

  • so nipun has written that krrish 3 collected 13 crores in regional versions while dhoom 3 collected 12 crores..lol..it hasnt earned more than 8 crores..so total is about 183 crores..behind ett

  • If he wasnt gonna name NAMES then keep your mouth shut… Dont see why this guy is getting free publicity for himself- someone already said hes just trying to justify his existence in Bollywood coz hes a Loss Maker who cannot even dream of 100 crores… Nice enough guy but dont care much for him now as younger guys are already way past him like Varun n Ranveer to name acouple. No story here just baseless accusations from a clueless hapless actor…!

  • @noam ett is 186.14 crores according to boi..that means less than 13 crores difference..and we all know that 13 is less than 17

  • @Indicine, there are some errors in earlier similar comments. So, please post this one, not the earlier ones!
    @everyone, please go through the datae below
