‘Pavan Kumar Chaturvedi’, Salman Khan’s much-loved character in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, has deeply touched audiences all over India. The Kabir Khan directed film beautifully portrayed the relationship between an Indian man and a little girl from Pakistan.
Salman himself has admitted that ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ has had a huge impact on his outlook towards life.
The superstar said “This film has changed my outlook towards life. The way I used to see or lead my life before the film is way different from how I perceive it now. I guess I have become a lot calmer with this film.”
However, the actor says that his choice of films will never change.
“I have been there for 27 years and I’ve done almost 50-60 films. Every six-seven years, I have done something like this. So Bajrangi Bhaijaan isn’t new to me. Suddenly, people are like, ‘Oh, Salman did something different’. But they forget that I did a Tere Naam, a Kyon Ki much before. I did a film called Baghban, at the time I was doing some hardcore action films. But that actor was likeable and should be loved. You should play such characters. I have always made those shifts and will continue doing the same.”
“There needs to be variation. Because if I don’t do that, people will again say that Salman is doing the same. I did five action films and they said that. I did a Bajrangi and they stopped. If I do five back-to-back films in the same space as Bajrangi, audiences will again say the same thing.”
The superstar also added that he makes a conscious effort to not bore the audience by making the same kind of films.
“The bigger the hits, the faster you get bored of watching the same type of films. I thought Hum Saath Saath Hain was a much better film than Hum Aapke Hai.. Koun?, but the latter already ran for over four years and then when you watched Hum Saath Saath Hain, you felt, ‘Arre yeh toh dekhi picture hai’.”
Salman’s upcoming films include Sooraj Barjatya’s family drama ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ and Yash Raj Films’ 2016 Eid release ‘Sultan’, a fiction film where he plays the role of Sultan Ali Khan.
His mind-boggling success in the last few years can also be attributed to his choice of films, director, production house and the effort that he puts into marketing his films.
@nipun baghban is much better than lootera but I can guess that why you didnt liked it.As a kid you would have not understood the movie.
@sunny chadi. What was the collection of ek tha tiger and singham returns on independence day? Ticket price too compared with sidharths brothers? jaldi jaldi jawwab pls!!!
Then you must tell the truth like pawan. Now tell me who was driving, you or your driver?
Our most loved non flying Devil dabba jaan will go to jail in in bajrangi munni part-2 lol.
@indicine too much over srk and Salman releted articles. Do you have anything else to post? And you are ignoring aamir releted articles? Shame on your site. No matter what, dangal will break all records next year of PK in India and overseas.
Opening day collections 50 crore All eyez on PRDP- 350cr storm coming this Diwali Love u bhaijaan.
the concept of Baghban book was good in Baghban. The plot was over-written and so were the characters.
If you see Indian Cinema track over the years then you realise some changes with the time.
Few days back saw discussion on News channels about Indian cinema on the occassion of 40year of Sholay.
Experts are discussing over Sholay & HAHK the biggest trade changers of Indian Cinema.
Before Sholay there was romantic drama cinema’s period where Rajesh Khanna ruling.
Suddenly Sholay came & all focus was shifted towards multi-starers with too much blood.
But no film succeeded to challenge the 15crs lifetime of Sholay.
Then in 1989 MPK released & almost challenged the Sholay & made 14crs.
And focus got shifted towards Romantic genre.
But no other film came near to MPK.
Then in 1994 a family drama HAHK released & it smashed all records.
Also it introduced bollywood in oversease market.
It collected 69crs in India & 134crs WW.
All superstars like Aamir,Srk & also Salman himself not crossed that figure before 2006.(Except Gadar).
But success of HAHK was such a huge that top 9 films released in 1994 combined collection was less than HAHK.
Its not happened before that or not even after that till now.
Then from 1995 to 2005 the period was like mixed with few romantic films & some off beats like Lagaan & Gadar.
Then 2008 & 2009 belongs to Aamir Khan.He teamed up with Raju Hirani & delivered 3idiots the master piece.
Then again Salman changed the trade & came with Masala genre & whole bollywood followed him.
On wonder All stars highest grossers till now are masala genre films.
Except Aamir & Salman who are sitting at top with PK & BB.
Few days back i read somewhere that masala films will not work now its time of Emotional films.
Really…?
Why this trade got changed now..?
Because Aamir & Salman doing these kind of films..?
No wonder if remaining bollywood will try these kind of films & then Salman & Aamir introduce something different once again.
Moral after Mughal-E-Aazam & Sholay bollywood followed the trade which set by Salman & Aamir.
Here is the list of trade changing films of Bollywood…
Mughal-E-Aazm(1960)
Sholay(1975)
MPK(1989)
HAHK(1994)
3Idiots(2009)
Dabangg(2010)
PK(2014)
Bajrangi Bhaijaan(2015)
salman salman salman…………………….everyone loves him………………megastar of the century………………..7 out of 8 movies are blockbuster………….UNBELIEVABLE ……..god bless u bhai………..
Please don’t change your choice bcoz non actors not deserve character oriented films.Cast Nawaz bhai in every movie otherwise jai ho.
@nipun I think u r kid bcoz baghban is such a great movie
why to change if it’s working for you!
@Nipun, what your calling as ‘overwritten’ is what was required in such kind of film..as @g007 said it was good if not flawless; at-least script was better than Kites ??
@sunny ki chachi : moron, christmas was the 5 th day for dabangg 2. It still collected 15 crores after a record breaking weekend collecions which was probably comparable to the lifetime collection of khiladi 786 released just 2 weeks back
well dere r gr8s lyk dilip kumar, amitabh bachchan , shahrukh khan and den dere is salman khan,
he is too different to fit dere. he is one of his kind. he is our bhaijaan
@Rohit, what is Bajrangi Bhaijaan, PK and 3Idiots are doing in your list???…can you tell me how many PK or Bajrangi Bhaijaan type of films has released and how many of them have become hits, lolz…so please don’t predict future!
and can you tell me how many 3idiot type of films were released between dabbang and 3idiots and how many of them were big grosser that you have mentioned 3idiots..??
P.S iam not saying this in hate full manner, but just asking!
Next year will belong to aamir. Dangal will smash all records of PK in India and overseas. Only aamir competes with himself. Cant wait for dangal.
@4:42pm
Jadoo Boy did jadoo Mil Gaya, Jadoo LOST and Jadoo 3 which were realistic storylines n not a single over elaborate dialogue right…?
King bhaijaan do watever u want
@starch Great likes aamir not SRKAY
@nipun
rajeev masand gav more than 3 stars for baghban
@aNIPUNma
Now the wannabe strict critiK wants to talk about realistic plot lines but for yrs he praised scripts like Jadoo Mil Gaya, Mosquito Anguish, Non Flying KITES, Jadoo 3 n Bong Bong…!
Baghban was a great movie- granted not everyones cup of tea but great to see Big B n Hema Ji once again light up the big screen.
Unlike some illiterate wannabe critiK audiences clearly preferred seeing Hema ji n Big Bs sizzling chemistry in Baghban on the big screen n not some crappy antics of Ranveer Gunda n LooTera maam Sonakshi in looTera….!
@7:08pm
Theres the differdnce- no fan of any modern day actor would want to even compare their fav star with the Legends that are Big B n Dilip Sir but you guys are so shameless that you are willing to degrade the status of those legends by bringing them back 90% so that your global queen can be compared with them.
When the only person brave enough to watch LooTera more than once says Baghban was poor then the only thing left to do is to shun that idiot forever.
@6:25pm
So should Ravi have done an entire film about a Book n little about the author (big b) who wrote the book n his reasons for writing it…?
Guess Kites was about Kites then eh but you luvvvvvvddd that krapfest.
Bahubali break P.k’s indian gross collection…p.k in india-440cr, bahubali- 525cr
@yy mithaiwala
i said 3idiots only due to its record collections.
Dabangg introduced masala genre & then everybody started it.
Ajay-Singham & Singham2
Akki-RR
Hrithik-Agneepath
Srk-CE & HNY.
These are the highest grossers of these actors.
Even films like R..Rajkumar.
Now PK & BB also did extraordinary business.
Even BB has 2nd highest footfalls after Gadar.
And i said people talking that masala genre is not remained safe now & its time for emotional movies.
Same things happened after…
MPK romantic genre films which were supposed riski before MPK.
Before HAHK family genre supposed riski.
So i am saying Salman & Aamir are parts of trades & records also milestones.
In my list either trade setters or milestones.
Hope you understand it.
As we don’t know this universal fact. we know you love to do just gatar chap films only like you’re doing since your first film that’s the reason you’re still struggling to get one filmfare award even when young actor like Ranbir has also 2 as his choices of films chance unlike you who does the same shit since birth so of course your choices of films will never change just like ”you’re the worst actor of India has ever seen” fact will never change that’s the reason you are still considered as non-actor who is yet to give fine performance. Keep doing the same shits and Bhojpuri Films like Dabangg, tere naam Jai ho, Kick etc which your bhojpuri tards considered it as classics & keep giving headache to people through it. keep damaging the name B’wood and India by your south masala craps & keep making everyone sure that no one ever can or will compete with you in terms of making countless craps & in terms of giving countless bhojpuri performances like you’re giving since your first Film.. Guilty Bhaijaan Roxx .
@Anal-izer : Manjhi with Nawaz in leading role is releasing next Friday. Wait n watch how much it will collect though movie will be good or excellent !!!!!!!! Let it collect 75 crs in India which is 1/4th of BB India collections !!!!!!! Lol
@Rohit
Great analysis bro…
Really as u mentioned those films r path breaking films… Which forced every chota mota actor to follow that trend…
@nipun : Baghban can be felt n touch hearts of people who believe in love, family bond n Respect towards parents not for any wanna be Kritick who has characteristics of a chameleon or someone who keep chanting about Hrithik’s looks. There are lot of important things in world than Rajeev Masand, Anupama Chopra, Aliens, Jadoo, Hrithik Roshan, Rajesh uncle’s calculator, Looters & Guzaarish kind of movies and hatred towards Biggest Superstar called SALMAN KHAN !!!!!!!!!!!
Salman is Salman after all !!!!! He follows his heart n damn cares about critics or scripts. He concentrate on only two things:
* Entertainment, Entertainment & Entertainment
* Help society by helping poor & needy !!!!!!
