Q. Who Is The Lead Actress From Sultan? Is it Kriti, Parineeti Or Someone New?
A. How can you hear these things, who said about her! Well only I know about this and Kriti knows about it (laughs) I don’t know who the girl is, two three girls but I don’t know, I’m not allowed to tell you that. Well I tell, you are pretty close, (Giggles) but I’m not allowed to tell you her name. Very close, one more name. New girl, big name.
Q. I Think You Are Better Off Not Married, You Inspire A Lot Of People, People Are Also Jealous Of You Since You Are Single, What’s Your Take On That?
A. Even i feel the same thing, I’m better off like that, even my friends who are married are trying to get me hooked in this crap, I almost get convinced, I’m happier off like that, but am still trying to have a child without getting married.
Q. Whom Are You Launching Next?
A. There is some new girl, well she is big, maybe she can be for Sultan, but I’m not launching as it’s not my film (as a producer). Wait for sometime, you will know soon.
Q. What Is Your Vision For Salman Khan Films?
A. To make films that make a huge difference, two things, people who are a part of the film either they should become stars, people come out of the theatre and say outstanding, so a story worth telling, and if we can tell it we will, with obviously heroes and obviously my kind of , whatever you do there has to be full on dhamaal entertainment, in the same genre, you can’t suddenly do a David Dhawan kind of film or a Sooraj Barjatya kind of film they are different genres. the comedy the improvisations, the humor, the action , it will be according to that film, all these four things emotions, action, comedy, drama is according to those films. Like Sooraj’s film this time has lot of action, but that’s Sooraj Barjatya kind of action and in this film (Bajrangi Bhaijaan) its action, but different one as the script demands. Like Sultan lots of action, but different kind of. In our Hindi cinema format which has three four five tracks, I need to make sure all these things are there. And make sure they don’t look forced upon.
Q. You Had Once Said In An Interview About Launching A Digital Media Initiative By Taking 1 Rs From Every Fan. What’s The Status On That?
A. We are working that out, I am surprised no one has taken that idea, I think, I was told Mukesh has done that with his people, we are trying to do a lot of things, I think they will all start working as soon as I’m close to 50 which is the new 27th.
Q. If Given A Chance To Do A Biopic, Whom Would You Like To Portray On Screen?
A. I would like to play Dharamji (smiles).
