All my films are different, still open to south remakes: Salman

Salman Khan’s latest release may not have set the box office on fire like some of his last few films, but the superstar says that he’d continue to feature in south remakes as long as the script is good.

At the launch of Armaan Malik’s new album, a reporter asked Salman about reports that he is no longer interested in south remakes. To which the star said “Who said I will not do any Southern remake ? Did I say that ? No. Whenever a good remake will come up I will do it”

Khan has worked in four south remakes so far – Wanted, Bodyguard, Ready, Jai Ho – out of which only Jai Ho has failed to get a favourable response.

When asked about his upcoming Eid release also being a remake, Salman simply said “All my next films are of different kinds, there is nothing to worry”

Some exclusive photos from the event below. Have a look.

  • Jai Ho is a great film with such a Life Changing Message. We all should go and watch the film and start helping more and more people.
    It will not be fair to compare the business of Jai Ho with Salman Khan’s previous films record. Every film has its own audiences and from that point Jai Ho itself a big success.
    Jai Ho production cost was around 45 crores where The Team spent another 20 crores on Marketing, Promotions and Advertising. In total it was just 65 crores which is very Tight Figure.
    This was The Idea of Salman Khan himself to Lower down the promotion cost as rather he wanted to spend the money on Being Human to help people. After all he is The Man with Golden Heart.
    Now what will be the Box Office Verdict of Jai Ho? Jai Ho has around 88.78 crores nett within its first week and the second weekend business is most important to go to any conclusion So lets see how it does over the second week will give the clear vision on its verdict. Wait and Watch…

  • There is not that big harm in doing south remakes if the movie is good bcoz people from other parts of country rarely watches south indian movies.Only box office collections will be less in south india only.

  • @nipun no please don’t leave this site and i will pray for u that ‘Bang Bang’ becomes 3rd highest grosser of 2014 after ‘PK’ and ‘Kick’ and that too without any manipulation.lol

  • @shahenshah what u mean by same story ? Is story of Salman’s last few releases like Jai ho,ETT,Bodyguard,Dabangg etc is same or u don’t know the difference between an Army man,Raw agent,bodyguard and police inspector.

  • why does he work in south remakes?when his films like dabangg,ek tha tiger were blockbuster hits and those films were original.

  • A masterpiece in recent years. Jai Ho spreads humanity. I’ll again watch Jai Ho on Sunday with my family.

  • @nipun, since all your comments have the similar ‘K3 best movie’ comment, Indicine just decided to approve any one. Lol.

    just kidding bro. Hehehe

  • Is #JaiHo A Flop? Its Weekend Collection was more than the collections of any other Amir or SRK film but for CE & Dhoom 3.

    Jai Ho- 1) [Bad Timing of Release after X’Mas and New Year] An out and out non-festive and non-holiday release, 2) Released in more Screens, 3) Ticket Price 30%-40% lower than CE and Dhoom 3, 4) Some Section of People are Boycotting it. 5) Low-ranking casts but for Salman and film-makers

    CE and Dhoom3- 1) [Good Timing of Releses] Festive Releases, 2) Released in lesser screens, 3) Ticket Price: 40% Higher, 4) No one boycotted them, 5) High-Ranking Casts and Film-Makers.
    Out of the above five-facts, only no. 2 is in favor of Jai Ho, while other four are against. And no.1, no.3, no.4. no.5 are in favor of CE and Dhoom 3, while only no.2 is against them.

    These are not excuses but facts.
    In short, JaiHoSpreadingHumanity

    I want to end with a few amazing words that Taran Adarsh Retweeted:

    “Haazaro Aib Dhundhte Hain Hum Dusro Mein Is Tarah, Aapne Kirdaar Mein Hum Log Farishte Ho Jaise”

    And Life is about ups and downs! All the best, Salman Khan, the enigma the people love!

  • Don’t know people are getting mad that salman jai ho has been failure
    But sorry to all
    Salman khan is a phenomenon
    Jai ho is now his 6th film which will soon cross 100 crores landmark in a row
    Only milestone by an actor in Bollywood till date

  • When human beings find continuous success, they, naturally, tend to take things lightly. As a human being, Salman Khan is also prone to that weakness. Though, with no doubt, Jai Ho is a great film, it didn’t do business as much as it had been expected from it. There are many reasons for it. It has alerted Salman Khan to take the audiences’ taste seriously, to do something and not to something. He will surely precautionary from these days onwards. The fortunate thing is he has go the chance to improve his work without facing a great failure.
    In Salman Khan last few films except for ETT, though story may be different but screenplays, music and actions have become repetitive and predictable. Frankly, I prefer and thoroughly enjoyed the kind of action he did in ETT. Besides, the action he did in Tum Ko Na Bhool Payengi was simply superb without the help of international action directors. He should stick to realistic action like the actions in those films rather doing south types. I think even single screen audiences are ready to accept the Sleek-looking-action like in ETT, Don 2, Dhoom 3, or Krrishh.
    His next film is KICK on Eid! It is being directed by Sajid Nadiawala. Since it is first film as a director, he is making the movie on lavish scale with huge budget, with international stunt directors, high production values. Besides Salman Khan, it has some great castings like Nawazuddin, Randeep Hooda, Jaquelin, Mithun. And the screenplay of the original KICK was re-written and improvised by Chetan Bhagat only keeping the theme of the original movie (i.e. which also happens to be in Dhoom 3 formate Cop Vs Theif or Robber. But the good thing here is the lead actor steals from the rich to serve a noble cause and for orphans). Ravi Teja’s Kick was also thoroughly entertaining so much so that I have already watched it five times. I am sure it will click with the audience big time. Hence, expect the unexpected surprise from KICK.
    Next, Salman has a line-up of movies with Sooraj Barjatya, Anees Bazmee, Kabir Khan, Shimit Amin and Prabhu Deva as well. Besides, KJo is also desperate to do a movie with him in a project to be directed by Rohit Shetty. Salman should take that up as well. Hence, Salman will keep ruling!!
    And don’t forget to go and watch Jai Ho with family this weekend. It’s a great movie though not the perfect one.
    All the best, Salman Khan!

  • Hey @nipun, do not leave at any cost. We will feel alone and miss you a big time. You are entertaining most of the time. :)

  • Jai ho is an awesome movie with a very noble message. I sincerely hope that positive word of mouth carries it through.

  • Everyone compares King Khan with each and every Actor but SRK is still on top position continuously from last 22 years!
    He Is The King, The Superstar, The Actor, The Businessman, The Entertainer, The International Icon, The Greatest Actor of Indian Cinema, The Most Powerful Man of Bollywood, The Face of India – He is Shah Rukh Khan….Born to Rule….?
    What I can say about him, he is just an Extra Ordinary Actor with billions of fan following not only in India but also in overseas. He is trend setter, the icon of India, the face of India, the man of his words, the man who can dare to do anything, a man who can achieve anything. Shah Rukh Khan deserve to be No. 1 actor, by his acting or by a soft heart human being. He is has won more than 200 awards in different different categories. No other actor can compete with him or stand in front of him. He is The King of Bollywood – He is Shah Rukh Khan.
    Thanks to all King Khan’s Haters and Insecure people who encourage me to do that. Just one thing I wanna say those people “Super Humans like APJ Abdul Kalam, Bill Gates, Dhiru Bhai Ambani, Amitabh Bachchan, Mother Teresa, Anna Hazare, Kiran Bedi and Shah Rukh Khan, they just born only once and after that they become Star and other people like us always get stuck in this Life Cycle (Life and Death) for millions of years.
    Shah Rukh Khan is not an obvious Bollywood hero. He can dance but not as elegantly as other actors. He is also not as good-looking as other Bollywood stars such as Hrithik Roshan. His only power is his acting and persona.
    Unlike many of current crop of Hindi cinema stars, who came from film families, King Khan was born in a middle class family in Delhi. His father ran a transport company and his mother was a magistrate. He was 15 years old when his father passed away due to cancer; his treatment had been expensive due to which their family business collapsed. Shah Rukh’s mother worked day and night to build the business back but never insisted that her son follow her into it. He came to Mumbai and started his career with a small advertisement assignment. Only because of his Hard Work, he is now King of Bollywood and most richest man of Indian Film Industry with around 4500 crore net worth. He has The most numbers of Luxury Cars and Bungalows in Bollywood. Also owns Production Company, VFX Company, Cricket Team, Motor Sports Team and also buying Kolkata Hockey Team.
