Salman Khan is the biggest example of secularism: Kabir Khan

Director Kabir Khan, who directed Salman Khan in 2015’s biggest grosser ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, has said that the megastar is the biggest living example of secularism in the country. Someone who feels very strongly about few issues and how secularism is perceived in India.

“After ‘Ek Tha Tiger’, I started spending a lot of time with Salman. One thing that I realised that he feels very strongly about few issues, especially how secularism is perceived in India” Kabir said at the ’All Light Indian International Film Festival’.

“Salman is a living example of secularism. When you go to his house and see the way he and his family lives, you’ll come to the conclusion that there can’t be a more secular person than him” he added.

Through ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Kabir wanted to show the secular side of Salman Khan to the world.

“Salman’s secular feeling has never been articulated in the right way. He’s a superstar and when he says millions will listen. Around this time, I was working on the story of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, and I felt he would fit the bill”

When asked about his experience of working with Salman in ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Kabir said they used to be a lot of clashes initially, but when the time came to make ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Salman requested Kabir to ‘protect’ the story of the film from Salman himself and the corporate studios.

“We had a lot of clashes when we worked on ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ because both of us came from two different worlds. It’s only towards the end of the film we started to understand each other and it resulted in the commercial success of the film”

“When I decided to narrate the story, I decided I’ll read his body language. When he heard the story, he literally jumped with excitement. He asked me to make the film the way I want it and absolutely without any compromises. He asked me protect the story from him and the studios” he added.

  • For me, Film-makers and Bollywood stars should not get into these political terminologies called “Secularism” and “Communalism”. Yes, stars are free to express themselves, but such terms have been invented by political parties for their personal benefit and most of the Indians (at least 90%) don’t get into a Secularism VS Communalism debate.

  • @INDICINE… please tell me when is the trailer of mastizaade releasing ?

    will appreciate if you come back to me with this :)

  • Secularism comes naturally to Bhaijaan. He didnt bifurcate Hindus and Muslims while driving car over them. Bhai roxxx.

  • Kabir is a great director. He knows how to make quality films while maing them biggest commercial successes as well.
    Salman is a great human being and born actor-star who doesnt need to do extra things to act.
    PRDP is sustaining well. Dont fall into the traps of SRK’s PR Machineries including this site that doesnt write positive articles on the film and his fans with ugly mentality.

    Only problem is in some regions, going v strong, in some others below par. Thats the problem… Still very well

  • @Indicine, post PRDP Overseas Collections. It has been doing excellent collections. I think you only look for sides of the film performance to post on the site.
    Sometimes, post positive things as well.

  • Ek Tha Tiger was more of a Salman movie and BB had the stamp of Kabir Khan all over it and the results were for everybody to see.
    Still I feel New York is his best movie till date

    OMG 30 crores in just 4 days, OMG. the biggest manipulation bhojpuri star ever exist in Bollywood. on the way to break Rakesh Roshan’s record.. OMG.. and wait wait wait we are not saying this, this is what his own bhojpuri fans’ logic proven that he has manipulated official collection since boi gives real collection while official are fake, manipulated according to them..

    Where are those chameleon who say Salman doesn’t manipulate? Salman called Taran and Fox to increase 3 crores daily to beat Hny at any cost which means salman is all set to troll his own fans ( who always talked about ‘manipulation’ ) by breaking Rakesh Roshan’s manipulation records…

    HNY (with 500 less screen):-15 cr+

    PRDP :-struggle to cross 11cr

    Salman Khan Bhai ye hota hai jab aap without eid aate ho.

  • i am salman fan but i will say the truth that ek tha tiger war bakwas movie exept it’s music,but bajarangi bhai jan is superb movie.
    1.5 star for ek tha tiger
    4.5 for bajrangi bhaijan

  • the direction level of bhajrangi bhaijan comes close to raju hirani,on the other
    hand direction level of phantom comes
    close to prabhu deva..both directed by
    same director (kabir khan)

  • @saitan scientist phantom was a really good movie!! . Though collections didn’t show it but it deserved a lot more. Honestly it was on par with baby!! Saif too acted well. But bcoz his previous movies flopped not many were interested on phantom

  • Again our so called dump fan @imdhakkan came to a conclusion which is absoultly childish…dude there r 2 fig one is trade & 2nd is producer ..if prdp is varing trade from producer then only producer can b blamed nt salman…nobody blamed hritik for krish 3 manipulation its rakesh roshan…like our lal mirchi manipulter king (dont tell me its gouri khan owned)

    real compaision is
    BB-321(producer),315(trade) Difference-6cr
    Happy new year-44(producer),37(trade) difference-7cr

    BB lifetime difference is Happy new year 1st day difference…now everybody can say who is manipulate king

  • @tina You say Salman is a big criminal but you are the biggest prostitute around so why are you hiding but making remarks about someone else. You moron
