In the last 5 years, Salman Khan has taken super-stardom to a different level altogether, what with almost all his films taking a record-breaking opening at the box office. Yet, it’s ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ that will be remembered as Salman’s best and most successful film in recent times.
The script of the film was written by S.S. Rajamouli’s father K.V. Vijayendra Prasad. Surprisingly, the script was first offered to Aamir Khan, who had certain issues it and asked for a few modifications to be made.
When Aamir decided that he didn’t want to do the film, he suggested Salman’s name.
Salman had confirmed the same at a press conference to celebrate the success of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.
“Yes, Aamir told me that (Vijendra) Prasad had come to him and he sent him to me. So this is just Aamir sahab’s generosity,” Salman said.
“The father of ‘Baahubali’ director (S.S) Rajamouli wrote the subject of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. So the first question we asked him was why didn’t you ask your son to direct the film and why not there (Telugu film industry)? He said that was because there was a difference in language. He said if this film has to be made, it has to be made very authentically.” Salman said.
After Aamir, Prasad approached Hrithik Roshan, but he felt that the quoted price for the script (Rs 2 crore) was too high and hence decided not to go ahead with the project.
It was Salman who eventually heard the script and immediately paid him the signing amount of Rs 50 lakhs. The rest, as they say, is history. ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ is one of the biggest hits of Salman’s career along with his 1994 blockbuster ‘Hum Aapke Hain Kaun’.
Rajamouli’s father K.V. Vijayendra Prasad, who wrote the script of both ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and ‘Baahubali’ is in tremendous demand. According to a report, he seeks his inspiration from two of Bollywood’s most successful writers, Salim-Javed. And Salim Khan also happens to be Salman Khan’s father!
@shah rukh my pen
Tu PK Hai kya??
Salman is way better than these idiots you are mentioning
they cannot be compared with salman becoz they all are superstars while salman is a megastar Hahaha
@yuvraj no point in arguing with you.
@James only in your dreams you jerk. Aamir is far ahead of both srk and Salman in popularity and fan following. Srk and Salman are nowhere near aamir’s feet in popularity. And leave desi Salman. Who for the first time got big hit in overseas thanks to content. Aamir is far ahead of haklu too in popularity.
Popularity wise
1. Aamir khan
2. Salman khan(thanks to desi popularity)
3. Hrithik
4. Varun
5. Ranbir.
6. Sarookh.
Now shut your bloody mouth. Your Salman and srk can never beat aamir in worldwide popularity and fan following.
@yuvraj you are nothing but a piece of a nut. Aamir’s stardom is unmatchable and unparallel. Salman is nowhere near him. He is lucky that Aamir I doing less movies thats why he is ahead in giving more blockbusters. If aamir would do at least 1 movie every year than Salman has no chance to be on top forget srk who is not even near aamir’s feet in stardom and popularity. And who told you dabangg, ETT had more foot falls than ghajini? Only in your dreams. Ghajini had more FFs than ETT, kick, BG, Ready, etc. And 3 idiots ffs wont be matched by BB. So shut your mouth you illiterate slum.
@hrithik I just saw the true colors of you Salman fans. Now don’t pretend to be goody goody. I dont care weather I am sensible or not, but I believe in reality at least unlike you Salman fans and srk fans who are opposed to reality and only chanting on mythological beliefs. It’s better to at least speak truth then being so called sensible which makes up mythological rumors. And how can I let it go when Salman fans first use aamir’s name before BB because that time Salman was nowhere near aamir or srk in overseas and now suddenly it has broken 3 idiots record in overseas after 6 years and you all are showing your true colors? Even though aamir still holds top 2 positions? Shame on you all. Next time dont talk how aamir fans should be? It’s not ur business to judge others when they try to speak reality. And yes, if speaking reality is not considered sensibility than hats off to your logic.
@ eric – shut your mouth slumdog. you don’t like excuse because you don’t have. just check footfalls of movies on boi. don’t know what happen with you if i put hahk’s worldwide record what aamir srk chased more than decade?
hey @eric
you already know that bajrangi bhaijaan could have surpassed PK easily if there were more holidays(like PK had) and no competetion(like pk)
And u are acting like u know nothing
and listen Salman did only one good film in last 5 years and that was enough to give tough challenge to PK
Think if he had done more gud films,then where would have aamir stardom lie???
Aamir = half of salman superstardom
Srk=quarter of salman superstardom
Compare aamir with Srk not with my @god U understand?? Sayed tu samajh gaya PK
