In a emotion-filled press conference during the launch of the trailer of his upcoming film ‘Tubelight’, Bollywood megastar Salman Khan said his acting capabilities are limited, something which – he said – everyone knows. But having his real-life brother, Sohail Khan, in the film helped him emote better in the film.
“I am a limited performer and everybody knows that, but because Sohail was playing my brother, maybe that’s why I was feeling very emotional… The film was an emotional journey and I felt emotionally drained after shooting some of the scenes that narrate that my brother is no more..
“In fact, during the dubbing of the film also, being a grown up man, my tears were coming up… it was really bad! And coming from us (Pathans) is really bad” he said.
The actor also narrated a story when his family visited him in jail.
“When I was in jail, one day my mother, father and one of my uncles came to see me there, and seeing my condition, my uncle started crying. So my father told him, ‘kaise Pathan ho yaar tum, roh rahe ho’” Salman said.
The actor is gearing up for what is being touted as his best and most emotional performance to date. While Salman’s on-screen acting histrionics has always been under-rated, the actor has delivered several top-notch performances in films like ‘Andaz Apna Apna’, ‘Hum Aapke Hai Kaun’, ‘Tere Naam’ and even in the more recent films like ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.
Check out some pictures from the trailer launch:

Love u Bhai
Indicine pls write about that interview between srk and brad pitt
That is called being humble. Unlike some other people who just say they are number 1. Like King of Halkas, he just can’t stop Calling himself king when in reality he is king of bakra.
Indicine have you even watched that video..lol..he was clearly sarcastic there taking a dig at media and critics xD
Salman was sincere and down to earth enough to say it. In fact, he’s the most natural actor that doesn’t to act. Acting is embedded in him.
But there’s a certain actor who from the top of the roof shouts ‘I am the best actor, I am the biggest star.’ In fact, he was just an over actor limited to only romantic genre.
From sometimes Indicine is playing very Safe. Still no first day box office estimate of Sachin, no LBO for Hindi medium. Even on daily basis, they are publishing box office collection very late. Whereas boxofficeindia is predicting 1st day at night 11 pm. It’s very risky from their side but they are taking risk. Indicine Buck up
Meanwhile, Salman is the most versatile underrated actor. He’s almost all genres of films successfully.
Family Drama — Social Drama — Action — Comedy — Romance
And we can’t wait for another masterpiece called Tubelight.
Despite being a limited actor, Salman’s performances emotes laughter, emotions and smiles in you naturally. What do you call it?
Many actors need to put some hard efforts to emote the same in the general audiences. Good for thought.
@Sunny : Thanks !
We don’t care whether you people call you a great actor or bad actor. We know without acting no one will survive and reign in industry for so many years. We love you for both your onscreen and off screen personality. You are an inspiration Bhai !!!!!!!!!!!! Love you.
I wont be visiting Indicine for a month and will be back after Eid. Will watch Tubelight and post review as a come back post.
Keep rocking Salmanic, All the best haters !!!!!!!!!
@Indicine : Keep doing good work.
Nope….You aren’t Bhai. The whole world (except a few moro-nic jealous souls) knows that you are a great performer…. “Namak swad anusaar and acting zarurat anusaar hona chahiye”…. And aapki acting zarurat anusaar hain….No over-acting…!
@neeraj 12:52pm
Without doing any kind of acting today he’s the biggest star of the country. What has your 64 teeth wala gobar actor done with his 64 teeth showing acting???
@2:53pm
Hahaha….. Abey jhandu, just bcz of one blockbuster Prabhas bcm a megastar but Salman isn’t a Megastar…..! So according to your logic Karun Nayar>>>Sachin Tendulkar…Cz Karun scored 300 runs in a inning but Sachin Tendulkar never scored 300 runs in a inning… Dimag ka ilaaz karwa apna..!
@chaman kapur
Marigold, Yuvraj, MAMK etc flopped cz Salman doesn’t have any kind jaadooboy calculator. Just imagine if he had the jaadoo calculator Marigold would’ve collected 61cr instead of 1cr, Yuvraj would have collected 74cr instead of 14cr and so on….. Therefore, all those movies would’ve bcm blockbusters if Salman had Jaadoo calculator…… LMAO!
You cud have applauded his performances in Garv, MPK, Khamosi.
What was the need of mentioning HAHK, AAA where he was overshadowed totally?
His statement shows that he is so down to earth…..What he do onscreen if that is not acting then I think no one is good actor….Not saying that he is brilliant actor but for me for his fans and for general audience he is great actor…..
Love You Bhaijaan…
@jihadisuf

P.S : Salman’s ATBBs were much bigger in terms of footfalls.
5cr/6cr/7cr Footfalls
Salman – Yesss
Srk – again ZERO.
Still, if you think Salman is a 2010 born star then srk yet born… Please contact a sperm-bank!
He is humble and down to earth and this is why I love him so much….
Those who are criticizing him for his down to earth attitude, don’t forget that even Aamir during the promotion of Dangal said that he is not a star…..But does this means he is not star…No….He and Salman are those kind of Stars who don’t praise himself……Its general audience who praise their work…..
On one side we have Salman Khan who is so down to earth and on the other side we have Srk who always praise himself “I am King”…”I am King”…..apni taarif khud karta hai…..LOL
I think in Industry we have only Salman who is the Best Natural Actor……
Hatts Off to Salman Bhai….
No matter what haters bark here, but the reality is that the neutral audience love his acting on screen and that’s why his movie collects those huge FootFall and Box Office Collection…..
So Haters Keep Barking and Keep Burning……
@Sunny, you are not high today. Hangover has got over. Sense ki baat kar raha hai tu aaj
Thst is why I love him.
What is acting plz learn from aamir Khan… You almost spending 28 years in Indian cinema.. . When you learn acting… bhagwan meharbaan tho gadha v pehalwan..
@indicine please do the article on srk and brad pitt interview with rajiv masand. I am shocked why are you not posting it since 2 days? Do you think it’s a small event when 2 of the biggest and most popular global superstars from east and west share the same frame? Answer me if you have guts.
