Salman Khan: ‘Shah Rukh Khan, Ajay, Akshay, Aamir & I can give young actors a run for their money’

Actor Salman Khan announced the news of hosting the upcoming Filmfare Awards this year at a press conference in Mumbai on Wednesday. He interacted with the media at the event and also talked about giving new generations of actors a ‘run for their money.’

When asked about his thoughts on new actors in the film industry, the actor referred to Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar, and himself and said, ‘All of them are hard-working. All (are) very focused. But the five of us are not going to give it up so easily. Av five mein kaun hai (who are these five people)? Shah Rukh, Aamir, me, Akki and Ajay.’

He continued, ‘We will give them a run for their money. We will tire them out. Hum logo ke picturein chalti hai, hum price badha dete hai. Woh uske chakkar me, jab hume nahi milta, price badha dete hai. Kyu bhai (We increase our fees after the success of our films. Now to combat that, these people too increase their prices when we are not available for films. Why so).’

Talking about films not working at the box office, Salman shared, ‘Today filmmakers have a different understanding of India. They feel it’s from Andheri to Colaba. The filmmakers that I have met and interacted; they are too cool. They make that kind of content. However, Hindustan is way different. They start from the east of the railway stations.’

As he spoke, the actor burst into laughter and stated that his film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ is scheduled to release soon and he hopes his words don’t come to bite him.
‘Bhari nahi padhna chaiye… People shouldn’t question what kind of a film have I made. It is releasing on April 21 and I hope everyone likes it,’ he said.
