Salman is a powerhouse of star power: Aamir Khan

At India Today Group’s Agenda Aaj Tak conclave, actor Aamir Khan was asked about the Khan rivalry between the top three stars in the industry – Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan and himself.

To which, Aamir said “I can answer for myself. I don’t have any negative thoughts about competition with anyone and I thank my ammi (mother) for it.”

“It’s not in my nature. I understand that there are people who think otherwise, but it’s not in me to look at another person’s work, and think, ‘How come he did so well? How will I do as well?’ I just don’t feel like this.”

“When I saw Sanju in Munnabhai MBBS and Lage Raho Munnabhai, I was so happy with his work, or even when I saw Ranbir in Barfi”

Khan was all praise for his good friend Salman.

“Salman is my friend. He is a bigger star than me. When I see him in Dabangg, I feel very happy. Salman doesn’t need to do anything. He is a powerhouse of star power.”

“Woh sirf belt hilaata hai, chashme theek karta hai, and see his magic (he just shakes his belt, adjust his sun glasses and see his magic). I have no competitive feeling”

When asked to do a bit of tap dancing, which he has perfected in his upcoming release Dhoom 3, Aamir said he is a very shy kind of person. A fan asked him to show his physique that he has developed for Dhoom, but Aamir refused.

“Salman would have done it both – tap dance and he would have shown his six-pack as well. I am a shy kind of person”

  • How much powerhouse will see when jai ho releases.. 2013 belongs to Deepika padukone even if Dhoom 3 beats Krrish 3 and C.E…

  • While watching movies,salman fans say,”ohh!look our sallu bhai,how he is beating the villian.he never gets beaten.while other actors are beaten in their movies.”how non sense! Hats off to their mind

  • I couldn’t stop laughing when one of my friend(a salmanfan) said lootera and madras cafe are bad.
    But he liked crap ready,ett and dabng2!

  • Right. Salman is the powerhouse of starpower.
    Aamir is the powerhouse of quality.
    Hrithik comes third.
    SRK comes fourth.

  • Simply Perfect.

    It doesn’t mean anything other than, to each his own.

    People who have been trying to be Dabangg or make movies like it, should read this and understand, that every actor has his own strength and ability and just trying to do what others cannot guarantee any success.

    The flop films of this year is proof that what Salman can pull off, no one else can in that genre.

    Salman’s dad said it absolutely right on KWK that movie is all about projecting a character, and gave the example of Amitabh, who he said, doesn’t have the physique, but when he potrays anger, he means business, that’s the projection he creates on screen.

    So, to all stars, kindly work on your strengths and do things that you are comfortable and what you can project better rather than simply trying to be someone else.

  • Yes Salman is bigger star than Aamir bcoz his presence turns average movie into blockbuster but Aamir is way better actor than Salman.Both r top 2 superstars of bollywood.

  • Aamir is the star of “Classes”
    Salman is the star of “Masses”
    SRK is the star of “Classes + Masses”

  • Why people love Salman, because he damn cares what others speak about him….willingly how bad people think about him that good he becomes. Negativity also has heart to feel it and positive things give immense pleasure to listen to. Let people be how they are why you or me try to comment on them. Salman or SRK or Amir Or Hirthik so on……. al are good in their own terms……so b happy fans…whoevers fan your they are good and that’s the sole reason y we speak so much about them.

  • Its just a promotional strategy. .aamir is making such comments because his film is releasing nxt month. .coz everyone knows that salman is extremely popular amongst the masses nd by through this comment he will make salman fans happy nd they will come out in numbers to watch his flick. .his comment will be widely publicized on every possible platform be it tv,news papers,social media etc. .now how good a promotional strategy is this. .!

  • @nipun, my dear, are you assigned by anyone to spread negativity about Salman? Wasn’t it Hrithik that said “Salman helped me a lot. He has really added something to my life.” Wasn’t it Hrithik who took Salman’s name thirdly in his thanksgiving speech after winning Filmfare Award for Kaho Na…. If you are a Hrithik Fan, how can you can be so negative about Salman? I always see you trolling Salman fans or spreading negavity about him.
    With due respect, it is better to make a masala movie rather than stealing or unofficially lifting ideas from other Holly-Bolly films and calling it original.
    Even SRK watched Dabangg 2 at his home immediately after its release. It was during the shooting of CE. It seems that SRK took some ideas from Dabangg 2 on Masala movies and how to make them successful.
    Dude, get a life! Demean no one!

  • he will say all this @ the time wen his movie is on the verge of release… this guy knows how to make salman fans love him.. any ways BOL ….if movie is good it will do wonders @ the BO.. If not hype, Brand, and release timing(open weeks) will take to 150 at least

  • @Nipun rofled at ur comment & look hw quickly a salman fan- raj kumar proved u right….’ce was bb bcoz srk watched dabba2′. rofled again.

  • @raj:
    i give both negative and positive comments depending upon the article.in the kwk articles,i gave positive comments.
    Salman has being human organization which works for women and children.i salute it.

    He has helped hrithik and other youngsters with body building. that’s good.

    Now coming to this post, whatever i said, it was my opinion. I didn’t like ett, dabbang 2 and ready.

    But HAHK, Tere Naam, Garv, HDDCS etc were really good.

  • Aamir and Salman both are great superstars and better entertainer in their own way . Thats very good entertainment at end of this year with Dhoom 3 and start of the year 2014 Jai Ho …

  • @nipun : I am now sure you are a Salman hater in form of Hrithik fan. @Sumeet & @velocity: I have always admired Hrithik n his hard work n equally respected HR fans but sorry to say this guy nipun is spoiling all the efforts n respect you guys have shown to other actors n fans. He is spreading negativity about Salman on every page. Do not come back n fight if any Salman fan abuses HR.

  • Why amir is so much jelous on SRK
    whole bollywood appriciate srk’s hardwork and his passion towords making movies but amir ko sirf salman ki padi hai.

  • Aamir is absolutely right, when it comes to stardom Salman is unmatchable, his fan following in India can only overshadowed by Rajnikant only, Salman is most loved and powerpack megastar. @akshay,@abhishek@fake don’t make rubbish comments, Aamir said the same line when bodyguard broken opening day records by long margin, Aamir said in media Salman is no.1 that time no Aamir’s movie was on release, you guys don’t know anything and making nonsense comments, coming for d3 does Aamir require any publicity by Salman’s name, this movie has tremendous buzz that’s why d3 makers are doing restricting and intelligent promotion, if aamir come to own promotional strategy he give you shock just like he did at ghajini and 3i release time.

  • @nipun salman is a megastar his films whether it as good story or bad it will be a blockbuster but your spoon feed kid hr needs his father to give blockbuster by shamelessly manipulating the boxoffice collections.also salman remake films by buying the rights of the south film.but where has your overrated hr steal or copy hollywood films and claim it has orginal what a arrogant spoon fidhrithik is. shivering kid
