Salman Khan on keeping on making family films

Salman Khan on keeping on making family films

By: Mohnish Singh

Actors generally make it a point that they do not repeat genres so often and that their filmography boasts of a healthy mix of different genres, but Bollywood superstar Salman Khan does not hesitate from swimming against the tide. The superstar, who has been ruling audiences’ hearts for more than three decades now, has always made sure that all his movies have something for the family audience, irrespective of the genres they belong to.


“The people who have watched Maine Pyar Kiya (1989), they loved me, and they kept on loving me, and they kept on loving their husbands and their children, and their children kept on loving me. From that one fan became a family and then another unit. I am lucky and grateful that fans have been very loyal. So, from grandparents to parents to grandchildren, I have that following,” Khan said in an interview.

Salman Khan, who is presently waiting for the release of his much-awaited film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, believes that his stardom rose to the heights he would have never really thought of because he never neglected the family audience. The actor said he believes in retaining the simplicity in his films and looks to cater to the family audience rather than trying too hard to impress the intellectuals.

“We never know what will work, what won’t. We keep it to the simple stuff. Good versus bad, fun, humour. Maybe the intellectuals would not appreciate that but I am no intellectual and I do not cater to intellectuals. If they cannot understand the simplicity, they are not intellectuals to me,” he admitted.

Also starring Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda, and Jackie Shroff in important roles, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai is set for a hybrid release on May 13, 2021. It is a Prabhu Deva directorial.

Nick Jonas says it's 'scary' to imagine daughter Malti in showbiz after what he and Priyanka faced

Nick Jonas is no stranger to fame. From performing on Broadway as a child to becoming one-third of the Jonas Brothers, he’s spent most of his life under the spotlight. His wife, Priyanka Chopra, entered the world of glamour as a teenager, winning Miss World at 18 before making it big in Bollywood and then Hollywood. So, it’s only natural that people are curious whether their daughter, Malti Marie, might follow in their footsteps.

During a recent appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Nick opened up about the possibility. When asked whether he’d be okay with his daughter getting into the entertainment industry at a young age, he paused before saying it’s a decision she’ll have to make herself. While three-year-old Malti already enjoys singing, Nick admitted that the idea of her stepping into such a demanding field so early is unsettling.

Akshay Kumar tells King Charles to watch Kesari 2: “You’ll know why the British should say sorry”

Akshay Kumar isn’t asking for an apology. He just wants the British to look back and really see what happened. With his upcoming film Kesari Chapter 2 hitting screens on April 18, the actor is urging both the UK government and King Charles to watch the film and confront a dark chapter in colonial history.

The film, directed by Karan Singh Tyagi and based on The Case That Shook the Empire by Raghu and Pushpa Palat, tells the story of C. Sankaran Nair, a Malayali lawyer who took legal action against General Dyer and the British government after the Jallianwala Bagh massacre of 1919. The massacre when British troops opened fire on a peaceful crowd remains one of the most horrific events of British rule in India.
