Salman Khan says 'a film should now aim for Rs 1000 crore box office'

Actor Salman Khan, who attended the trailer launch event of Punjabi film ‘Maujaan Hi Maujaan’ on September 21, shared his views on how the box office scenarios for films have now changed. He said that minting Rs 100 crore will soon be very common for a film and that the movies will need to aim Rs 1000 crore at the box office.

He said, ‘I think the ₹100 crore mark is going to be the rock bottom now. Everything would be ₹400-500-600 plus now for the Punjabi industry, Hindi industry, every industry. Even Marathi films are doing these numbers. ₹100 crore is not going to be a very big deal. I think the benchmark should be ₹1000 crore for a film right now.’

Backing Salman Khan, Gippy said, ‘If Salman sir is saying, then something huge will happen.’

To this, Salman replied, ‘Mere pe mat jana bhai, picture pe jana, kyuki mere khud ke predictions meri films pe nahi chal rahe (Don't go by what I say brother, go by the movie as my predictions about by own films don't seem to be working).’

Salman’s last flick, ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan’ earned Rs 100 crore nett at the domestic box office according to Sacnilk.com. He will next be seen in ‘Tiger 3’ alongside Katrina Kaif.
