Salman Khan, the producer of the remake of superhit film ‘Hero’, has trimmed the movie by 30 minutes, director Nikhil Advani said.
In an interview, Nikhil, asked about Salman’s influence, said: “Before the making, I called him and said to him tell me what you want.”
“I told him (Salman) if you don’t sit on the edit, I cannot finish this film. You need to sit on the edit, to tell me what is right and what is wrong, what is working, what is not working’,” Advani said.
“He (Salman) sat, he cut out 30 minutes of the film,. The film is now 2.04 hours. Someone recently asked me what is ‘Hero’ in one word and I said ‘Salman Khan’,” he added.
It was recently reported that Salman had not interfered in the creative process. So did this editing satisfy or dent Nikhil’s confidence as a director?
“It totally satisfies me as a director. What it allowed me to do is while ‘Hero’ was being made, I also made ‘Katti Batti’. ‘Hero’ is a producer’s film, ‘Katti Batti’ is a director’s film,” said Nikhil.
The bond between Nikhil and Salman was formed when they had worked in ‘Salaam-E-Ishq’. And Nikhil considers their friendship to be good enough to seek genuine feedback from him.
‘Hero’ starring Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty is releasing on 11 September.
I think Salman shoud sit for some more time with the team and cot another 1 hour 45 mnts. that will be great. and Keep 2 songs
Salman name is enough for making this movie HIT
That’s the difference between srk and salman, srk never interfere in these things he gives full freedom to his team
Indicine plz update Prem Ratan Dhan Payo Logo is out now.
Then name The Movie Bhaijaan’s Hero…. ;-) nt a good sign at all that a director doesn’t know what should stay in the movie and what shouldn’t….or may be He doesn’t have right….veryyy Bad….
Torture reduced by 30 mins!!
Hero will be superhit
It’s just a remake what’s there to do for the creative team.Anyways since Salman is addicted to remakes it was just a matter of time he remade a movie.Salman Khan should be known as Copycat Khan for shamelessly remaking South movies and now old Hindi classics
Salman has done a good thing!! Else, people may find difficult to keep watching the film in case that they don’t find it engaging!
There are reports that remake king is begging for the remake rights of Kick2..
OMG – A hero who can’t act…
Was edit a film…
God pleasee save this film and the actor’s career…
chalo bhai hosh me the warna sirf 30 minutes ki hi film rakhte or 2 ghante ki kat dete …..
If hero fails then the only reason would be athiya shetty. She is not a heroine material. Suraj is good but not that great. Only salman khan’s name can save this movie from turning into a flop.
Indicine
please post article on PRDP logo.
Good job by SALMAN he knows that long movies do not work that much nowadays!!!!
This is the thing he knew very well.hublike KING KHAN’S film salman’s every film’s length is very less to KING KHAN’S movie.dabang2 has least length among all superstar’s movie.masala element+less length always worked at single screen as well specially at multiplexes.that’s why salman got his existence in Bollywood again, unlike KING KHAN ,WHOSE NAME is enough to pull audience into theatre unlike amir during 90’s and salman during last decade completely lost people’s faith however they now recovered from that situation,lol.KING FOR A REASON AFTER ALL.
king in all department
@ ultron we have also hope from Suraj it will hit will collect more than Brothers & Gabbar .
@Challa : It is not scene to scene copy, Script was changed per current generation and got approved by Subhash Ghai. About Kick2, At least Salman officially buys remake rights by paying the original makers wheras SRK makes steals scenes from different movies (bollywood, south movies and hollywood) and makes a cocktail and present as original which his fool fans call as CLASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dont post anything blindly !!!!!!!!!!!
A lesson for Joker boy who needs to cut his yearly screen appearance by some 30% ie 1 crapfest less n maybe his new policy of releasing 3 expensive piles of shit a yr may earn more money than his current 4 piles of kSHITij earns…!
@5:26pm
Your floppistan team can be cut by a massive 60% and still it will remain a FLOP team…!
@some fat buddha idiotwala
If only Boney Kapoor cut fat arjunas screen time in Tevarless by 30% no 60% sorry lets just say 90% then maybe film would not have been that hideous to look at…!
Yeah Nikhil ,the producer does d cutting editing advices the director what’s right and wrong and does the marketing and distribution. That is where d experience of an A lister superstar brings to d director these days. Aamir,Srk red chilles, Salman all take d credits too with d director. This is d area where Ajay stands out too. I read somebodies comment which honestly I never knew about Ajay being d main producer for SR SOS(not robot movie) and two more rohit s movie!!, So now I can beat my chest now and laugh at those who says Rohit made Ajay?? Ajay has really made a huge impact in Rohits career. Being d producer and actor of d movie and attaining 100 crores plus!!! Hatss offf again Ajay!!
Rohit says it over n over again that without ajay he couldn’t have exhaled…I now c d reason. So haters (excluding Salman Aamir and selected Srk fans)…go ahead and say without ……. Mr x …is nothing….
@indicine thanksss for this article!!!*???
All d best Hero!!!!!!! It will rock even though am not that much of a fan of sooraj pancholi but again I don’t have any evidence so…I just have to be neutral and broadminded esp 4 Salman.
It is so ironic when these jokers post such stupid negative comments which makes no sense. Just as they did with BB and God says Ok watch and see what I do. Boy did He throw those morons a loop of 600 world wide. Wonder what he will do this time around. Especially to those who called Sooraj a killer. Watch now and see what happens to SRK what you are wishing for Salman will be the curse on SRK.
@aisha iqbal. Observations acknowledged. Well
said dear. If really Ajay is the producer of those movies than obviously he calls the final shot. Now his SR generates high revenue so it’s logical to say Ajay made lots of decisions in that movie and its his highest so yes it’s a rohit shetty directed movie but who produced it? Pointless then to discredit Ajay after all he packaged his movie very well. Its an Ajay movie along with bol bach and son of sardar.
Ce without ROHit means no official 200 crore movie for srk ! Trade figure. No more atbb ,several box office record too. Who brought rohit to limelight? Ajay. So srk should thank ajay!
If not all queen Khan movie trade figure would be in the same range with ranbeer hritik kangana 150-200 club. With dilwale coming up srk this decade at box office is nothing without Rohit shetty. Why is srk so desperate to work Witt Ajays pupil? To give biggest numbers? So ajay found a golden hen nurtured and groomed it to the extent it started producing golden eggs. Ajay got tired or had enough of the golden eggs and then passed it over to queen khan. Golden hen is rohit. Golden egg are the huge movies collections. Now shameless srk is capitalizing on it. Shame shame.
@challan hahaha what about our nautanki queen did remake bollywood’s biggest 2 classics Devdas and Don.
Try more 124 Minutes if possible.
He remaked…judawa..terenaam..ready…bodygard …kick..jay ho….now he is in cutting bizzness….
