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.

  • @Tiger chuha…Tell me where was Bhai before wanted? Srk in his worst phase is still giving worldwide hits…Lallu in in 2000s gave only flop and disasters…And Dont talk abt HAHK footfalls bcoz Madhuri was paid more in HAHK Than our superstar Bhai so tell me who was the bigger star?

  • @Abhishek : If you are a regular Indicine user you should know Salman was most successful in 90’s decade. If he is 2010 born star then all the so called kings/queen are still in womb. BTW, srk was paid less than Juhi Chawla during RBG & the so called queen had to do Maya Memsaab to survive in 90’s if he was ruling then I would say Bangladesh is a Super Power in World.

  • Sohail is absolutely right. Megastar like salman can never play small role as it doesnt suit him, unlike some teesra coward khan who happens to be wannabe world’s biggest star who is playing alia’s dadaji role in dear dadaji.
    #Fact

  • Name of bollywood actor who never given atbb. Hgoty.highest number of flop and disaster.never cross 150 cr
    ans = joker boy

  • @Dixit: Realy Hhhh Ajay Devgn & Akshay Kumar Has No Awards LOOLS I Think That is the Joke OF the Day’ Guys See This One Fulling Himself What About Two National Awards and more By Ajay and Even More Awards like Negitive Filmfare By AKK You Need To Get Right Your Facts Before Writring’

  • @nanga naach

    So according to your KABARIWALA logic BB tested huge success only because of Kabir khan. Let’s see Kabir’s filmography and make it Doodh ka Doodh aur paani ka paani….

    Kabul express- Flop.

    Newyork- Hit.

    ETT- Blockbuster.

    BB- ATBB.

    Phantom- Flop.

    Kabir without Bhai- 2 Flop 1 hit.

    Kabir with Bhai- 1 ATBB and 1 blockbuster.

    Hope you loggerheaded chichora have gotten the answer!!!

  • @unmatchable makki

    Yeah…agree Bhai can’t achieve what your has achieved. Eg….

    Bhai has already delivered 6 ATBB. But now he can’t decrease them to ZEROS to match makkhi’s achievement.

    Bhai has already delivered 10 HGOTY. But now he can’t decrease them to ZEROS to match makkhi’s stardom.

    Bhai has already delivered 13 blockbusters. But now he can’t decrease them to 2 to match makkhi’s stardom.

    Bhai has already delivered 2 300cr grossers. But now he can’t decrease their collections to 130cr to match makkhi’s stardom.

    Bhai has already delivered 29 hits. But now he can’t decrease them to 22 to match makkhi’s achievement.

    Bhai has already delivered 4 disasters. But now he can’t increase them to 13-14 to match makkhi’s achievement…

    Abb toh khush hai???

  • @chichorashek

    ATBB:
    Bhai- 1989
    SRK- 1995

    Blockbuster:
    Bhai- 1989
    Srk- 1995

    ATHG:
    Bhai- 1994
    SRK- 2012

    HGOTY:
    Bhai- 1989
    SRK- 1995

    HGOTD:
    Bhai- 89’s & 90’s
    SRK- babaji ka thullu.

    10cr nett grosser:
    Bhai- 1989
    SRK- 1995

    65cr nett grosser:
    Bhai- 1994
    Srk- 2007.

    Bhai achieves each & every BO milestone much before SRK . Still if Bhai is born in 2010 then your 80cr club’s gigastar yet to born. Plz contact any spermbank ….LOL.

    And who told you that Madhuri was paid more than Salman for HAHK? Producer or director of the movie??? BTW, the same Madhuri was also there in dtph & devdas. Hence according to your KABARIWALA logic those were too Madhuri starers, your king had nothing to do with their success right???

  • @Unmatchable Akki,U nailed it bro.
    U kicked the butt of the EID made star Fans.
    #Proud to be an Akki Fan
    #Lulz to LALLU Fans
    #Keep it Up

  • According to Boi ,Srk —21 hits and 2 semihits while Salman had 19 hits and 4 semihits BEFORE DABANGG.AND HAHK equals to ten hits of srk .Kkhh and ka not counting as salman also starred in them.

  • @The unmatchable makki, what are you actually asking me to do? LOL
    “Tell na, What are the records of the Non Actor and results of the films which he released apart from Eid or on Non Holidays?”
    “……..apart from Eid or on Non Holidays?” What does or on Non Holidays mean, bewde makki? On Non Holidays means Festive Periods? So, you mean on Xmas, Diwali?? Clear it!

  • @The unmatchable makki, I pray that your akki may never get to release any film on Eid. Kyun ki he has destroyed Diwali and Xmas periods by giving flops whenever he got the chance to release his films. He was hardly able to utilize them. (Check in my list if you wish.)

    It will a doomsday for Hindi cinema if he is allowed to destroy Eid, too, a period we can proudly say Bhaijaan has created. Eid is having gala period with Bhaijaan. How can it be allowed to be destroyed my somebody not worthy of it.
    Well, you should be happy you are getting independence day and republic releases.
    And mind you, you have all started these shits as you like it by your nature being a makkhi.

  • @LOLman Fan(aka Salman Fan)-Don’t you have shame while taking credit of HAHK that lallu was paid lesser than Madhuri? Name me one SRK film where SRK was paid less than the heroine!! And talking about footfalls, SRK has been consistent in generating footfalls in all three decades unlike your lallu who couldn’t manage to gather footfall for an entire decade. Tell me if footfall dependent on acting then did lallu forget what is called acting for an entire decade? Name me one star who is called a superstar who struggled for an entire decade to gather footfall! Still you won’t have any shame. Local star lallu is the star of the rickshawala fanbase who accept him inspite of his non-acting(and appreciates his skill of shaking belts and pockets) that’s why he gets support in India but outside India among the elite people he has no credibility and people run away from his non-acting and garbage films!!!

    @hrithik-What Maya Memsaab to survive in the industry? Was Maya Memsaab a hit formula commercial film like Hate Story 3 that he has to do Maya Memsaab to survive in the industry? Maya Memsaab was before Bazigaar since when SRK became a superstar. And I don’t mind attributing whatever success RBG had to Juhi Chawla. And you dumbos should also give HAHK’s success to Madhuri who was paid higher than lallu. And according to the same Indicine SRK and Varun Dhawan is ahead of lallu in terms of hit ratio and success ratio in this decade. I come to Indicine to show love to SRK and bash lallutards like you. Even a kid knows today that lallu is a 2010 born star.

  • @anand the original
    Bhai good analysis of bhai and akki holiday releases…dat too not degrading akki….well done……bhai fans barabar jawab do wdout degrading …just a request from one of many bhai’s fans …..as bhai himself dsnt lk it……i know its not easy coz dr r mny who just rant nonsense……. Lastly to other fan bases ….compare salman’s role to his acting in d movie…..he always is able to mk a connection wd d audience …..his career is not of 1 yr or 5/yrs …its more dn 25 yrs …wd numerous hits…..is d audience dat much dumb to kpp watching his mvz in theatres and dn numerous times on tv …if he dsnt play his role convincingly d mvie wnt b good/entertaining enuff to watch as he is d lead actor and will b dr in most scenes…..audience ek baar chance degi do baar …not baar baar every tym for last so mny years…..salmans worst phase mein ..he did some bad mvz also his acting wasnt upto scratch and audience rejected outright…..and dr hv bn some good performances in some avg or flop mvz as well

  • @ Anand the fake and Tamed Tigress,

    I have said it already, I have no time to read your useless essays…

    Just give me one question’s answer…

    “The records are You talking about of this non actor, whole world know that it had been achieved by doing one film and that also on Eid and if You do single film in a year then a street dog even watch that film so, ONE FILM A YEAR, HIKED TICKET PRICES i.e. upto 900 Rs., NO CLASH, 2 FREE WEEKS RUN, LARGE NUMBER OF SCREENS i.e. 5,400 screens, etc. THESE ARE THE BASIC REASONS FOR SUCH RECORDS…

    What I am requesting to both of You, PLEASE SHOW US THE RECORDS OF THE NON ACTOR APART FROM EID?

    One simple question, Answer it…

    Have some etiquettes, Don’t cross question please and give me answer of the above simple question…

  • @ Holiday,

    I haven’t said anything unique, I have put the truth just…

    If their so called megastar is superior to all then WHY IS HE SCARED OF NON HOLIDAY RELEASES? WHY IS HE POORLY DEPENDENT ON EID ONLY? WHY IS HE HIDING HIMSELF IN SAKE OF EID WITH ACTIVE OTHER MAJOR FACTORS WHICH MAKE MORE COLLECTIONS?

    The whole world know, NON ACTOR DOES NOT KNOW ACTING AND THIS SEASONAL ACTOR (EID MADE STAR) IS SURVIVING DUE TO EID FESTIVAL, WHITOUT EID HE IS FINISHED…

    @Anand The Fake And Tamed Tigress,

    YOU FEEL YOURSELVES VERY BIG HERE NA BY MOCKING OTHER SUPERSTARS LIKE AAMIR, AKKI AND SRK…

    First see yourself and have some pity on yourselves that YOU 2009 BORN FANS ARE NOTHING MORE THAN AS THE NON ACTOR IS WITHOUT EID…

    Jo mazaa haddiya todne mein nahi hai, WO TUM BHAITARDS KI AKAD TODNE MEIN HAI…

  • @nanga naach

    And who told you that Madhuri was paid more than Salman for HAHK? Producer or director of the movie??? BTW, the same Madhuri was also there in dtph & devdas. Hence according to your KABARIWALA logic those were too Madhuri starers, your king had nothing to do with their success right???

    Hahaha…. Calling Bhai a local superstar! Abey dumbistani dehati Bhai has already delivered 1 600cr grosser (WW) and 1 550cr grosser (WW). While your so called galaxy gigastar yet to touch 430cr mark (WW). Then how does your Eid sodke bhagnewala bcm global superstar and Bhai bcm Local superstar??? It seems you KABARIWALAs think that 400cr>>>>500cr/600cr….Hahahaha..

  • @Unmatchable Makkhi : Why are you flying so much ? One swat and you will be finished. Don’t force us to bash Akki for your sins. Stay in limits !!!!!

  • Those are blind or haters not to see Salman acting. The following 2 scenes are enough to prove Salman’s haters wrong :

    * BB – Look at his eyes and expression when he finds munni in a brothel before bashing goons.

    * Sultan – Bulleya opening, the way he looks at Anushka n smiles while she was giving chocolates to kids.

    If you still deny these expressions you are simply a blind hater of him. He may not be a great actor but he is good enough actor to relate with audience n touch their hearts which itself is the biggest award than any show pieces !!!!!!

  • @NN : Your strategy is chant ‘SRK is ruling since his debut’ and later defend with shame less excuses. Which movie came first Deewana or Maya Memsaab ? Baazigar was not SRK’s debut movie. If SRK was ruling since debut what was the need for him to do Maya Memsaab ? Do you think he did it and gave an exposing scene only to satisfy his artistic thirst? You are a double standard cheap who changes criteria when comes to your own idol. Another example is HAHK, since it is a milestone movie and huge you want to snatch away credit from Salman and do not mind crediting Juhi with an Average RBG. I mentioned that too let you know about the fact and not take away any credits. You 2 rupees credit ch0r fans !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • @11:23am abhishek jr bachchans junior fan

    Dude we all know bhai n his 2 brothers will never be able to act like Jadoo Boy does even in 1000 yrs bcoz the way Alien Freak Show Ritik shivers is literally out of this world…!

  • @Abhishek :

    Can you tell me which ‘Non-Actor’ has survived for 27yrs in the industry, Name me a single star who is a non-actor and has as much Hits/Superhits/BBs/ATBBs/HGOTYs/HGOTDs/100cr/200cr/300cr grosser etc as of Bhai ? Can you know The man whom you calling a Non-actor has BLOCKBUSTERS in every genre of movie, The man whom you calling a Non-actor has dominated 100cr/200cr/300cr clubs your duniya ka sabse bada flopstar is struggling to go past 150cr mark without Deepika, struggling to cross 80cr mark on Non-holidays cum Partial holidays, Struggling to deliver a single HGOTY since 2007, Only once crossed 2cr FF’s since 2002 inspite of having some 3.6 billion ‘Alien’ fans including you, Struggling and begging for Solo releases.LOL

    We are more than happy being a Non-actor Bhai’s fan, LOL

    Thoda burnol lagale,
    Burnol lagao, Jalan bhagao ?.

    @Naya Namuna :

    Are u kidding me ?

    *SRK has been consistent in generating footfalls in all three decades*

    Lol, abey firangi loongitard on which planet hakla is consistent in generating footfalls ? May be on pluto ?? FYI, hakla only once (CE) crossed 2cr + FF’s since 2002 ? Crossing 2cr FF’s after that much time called Consistently ? This loons can do anything to defend their Monkey face idol. Do some homewark before blabbering non-sense everytime. Don’t blabber much about HAHK your Fanbase doesn’t even had aukaat to blabber anything against the movie till 2007, Name me a single Madhuri movie which did even half of what HAHK done when it comes to footfalls and collection ?

  • @Unmatchable gobar tu fir se aa tapka? if srk or aamir fans bash salman then it still makes some sense becuase they are competing with the megastar, but how can some flop 2 rupees /percent small actor’s fan dare to bash the megastar? Aukaat me reh. I gave you more than enough treatment in last house-empty 3 article, but it seems you still didn’t get it. Stay in your aukaat. First Learn ABCD first and improve your grammer and dont even dare to come here and blabber anything crap against the emperor of bollywood. Your floppy is nothing compared to even his shoes.

  • @ Megh,

    Hahahahaha, So Your medical check up is gone perfectly…

    Tell You megastar to release his one film apart from festival season once, Trust me You won’t be able to write even a single letter on Indicine…

    To whom You are saying Rs. 2 actor, that actor has enough courage to release as much films as he wants in one year, Dhakkan…
    The actor has already crossed 3,000 crores and has become 1st bollywood superstar to do so, The actor had given 4 hits in 2007 and 3 back to back 100 crores films in one year and became the first superstar to do so…

    Don’t worry, I have full sympathy to you and to your seasonal star who are even not eligible to wash Akki’s underwears…

    Chal futt aur Beta, Abhi to start hua hai abhi to Tujhhe Teri aur Tere seasonal actor ki auqaat dikhani hai, REAL WALI…

    Keep replying, Pleaseee…

    And, Have guts then reply to my single question which I asked above to Your brothers, LOL…

    Reality mein jeena seekh, 2 Kodi ke actor ke chavanne fan…

  • @sallu fans always about Madhuri’s HAHK now some facts they have to know about

    List of movies realised in 1994 from 1 to 10 according to verdict

    1-Hahk- madhuri, salman
    opening day- 9lakh (lowest among all)
    Opening weekend – 29lakh (not even
    Equal to opening day of no 10th movie in
    That year

    2-mohara- akshay
    Opening day- 60lakh (highest)
    Opening weeknd- 1.59cr (highest)

    3-krantiveer- atul agneehotri
    Opening day- 44lakh
    Opening wknd- 1.27cr

    4-Raja babu- govinda
    Opening day- 49lakh
    Opening wknd- 1.38cr

    5-dilwale- ajay, akshay
    Opening day- 29lakh
    Opening wknd- 83lakh

    6- main khiladi tu anadi- akki, saif
    Opening day- 50 lakh
    Opening wknd- 1.40 cr

    7-Ladala- anil kapoor
    Opening day- 39 lakh
    Opening wknd- 1.11 cr

    8-suhag- akki, ajay
    Opening day- 55 lakh
    Opening wknd- 1.54 cr

    9-vijaypath- ajay
    Opening day- 51 lakh
    Opening wknd- 1.44 cr

    10-yeh dilagi- saifali khan
    Opening day- 29 lakh
    Opening wknd- 88 lakh

    Conclusion: hahk’s opening weekend is lower than that’s year number 10th spot movie, akshay mohara’s opening day was nearly 7times of hahk, alshay 3-4 movies did blockbuster opening compare to salman’s hahk disaster opening

    As well as i know star power means opening day and weekend where hahk’s 8lakh due to madhuri presence and rest 1 lakh due to sallu as we know he is less paid after that madhuri contributed due to his super acting plus director contributed through well direction but sallu didn’t contributed even 2% bcoz his acting was below avg. In that movie and also got less screen space it reminds me today’s tannu weds manu where movie work just due to kangana’s acting and well direction but these cheap lallus fans shamefully give all credit to sallu. Hahk rest collection same as we can say jai santoshi maa collection only story and wom made these two huge even if we cast tussar kapoor in these movie results became same….. and remember akki was unstoppable that days so don’t compare him to 2010 born south masala remake eid wala khan’s ok mind it!!!

  • @Tiger the real rickshawala- How many times will you copypaste the same comment and same dumb article. Your whole life has come down to convincing people that lallu was really no. 1 in the 90’s, LOL. Was Madhuri paid higher than SRK in DTPH and Devdas? The answer is No. That clears everything!!! And who said Madhuri was paid higher? Just google it. You’ll find the answer.

    @hrithik-Talking about Maya Memsaab, did you even watch it? Did that look like a commercial potboiler meant to attract audience through that scene? SRK may not have done that for artistic thirst, still he didn’t do it for commercial puropose either. SRK ruled since 1992 means he was a hit actor since beginning, but he was a superstar since Baazigar. And what about Lallu’s 6 back to back flops before HAHK? SRK gives one flop Fan and you guys pretend as if he is out of the race. THen what was lallu back then? Dead? What kind of decade ruler gives 6 back to back flops in that decade? That’s why lallu is called a 2010 born star.

    @The breast- Yeah we all know what footfalls lallu gathered in the entire decade of 2000’s. He was even below Emraan Hashmi and Abhishek bacchan in that decade. Decade struggler lallu fan comparing him with biggest moviestar in the world SRK!!!

  • @fanKabariwala

    Abey moronic KABARIWALA FYI mohra’s opening day and weekend collections were also higher than ddlj opening day and weekend collections. Hence according to your KABARIWALA logic Sunil shetty & Akki were bigger star than your gigastar in 90’s… Hahaha.

    Welcome & bhulbhaliya opening day and opening weekend collections were also higher than CDI opening day and weekend collections. Hence according to your KABARIWALA logic Akki was bigger star than your gigastar in last decade… Hahaha.

    who told you that Madhuri was paid more than Salman for HAHK? Producer or director of the movie??? BTW, the same Madhuri was also there in dtph & devdas. Hence according to your KABARIWALA logic those were too Madhuri starers, your king had nothing to do with their success right???…hahaha..

  • @nanga naach

    If you KABARIWALAs can bark again and again that Salman is a 2010 born star then WTH I can’t post that article as reply to burn the dhotis of you moronic KABARIWALAs???

    WTH is Anupam Kher to say that Madhuri was paid more than Salman? Producer of the movie or director of it??? BTW, the same Anupam Kher also called ur gigastar an anti national indirectly. That’s mean you KABARIWALAs believe that duniya ka sabse bada superstar is one of the biggestbiggest Deshdrohis of India. Right?

    Hahaha…. Still blabbering on past decade… Abey dumbistani idiot once upon a USA was a British colony. Does it make any difference to USA’s current standing???
