Despite making and breaking his own records by one hit after another, actor Salman Khan says he is not setting any records as he believes in doing hard work which eventually results in good box office collections.
Post his back-to-back hits – ‘Dabangg’ (grossing Rs 215 crore), ‘Ready’ (Rs 180 crore) and ‘Bodyguard’ (Rs 230
crore), ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ (Rs 198 crore) – not only the audience but even producers are pining their hopes on doing a film with Salman.
“I am not setting any record. I work on something and give my best. Now that the shooting of ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is over
I am concentrating on every shot of ‘Dabangg 2’. I do not think what the result will be, or what would be the TRP
ratings of the show, or the box office result,” Salman told PTI in an interview.
After hits like ‘Wanted’ (2009), ‘Dabangg’ (2010),’Bodyguard’ (2011), his last release ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ had the
highest opening day ever with a collection of about Rs 32 crore. The film also created a new record for being the
fastest Rs 100 crore earning film at the box office.
All I try to do is give my best at that given point of a time…on that shot. So I give my best there and if that
comes correctly then these things follow. If your work is appreciated then these things follow,” he said.
The ‘Dabangg’ Khan believes it is all about doing hard work as it yields results at the box office.
Like if I say a line which makes you laugh and now you are anticipating laughter you are not going to get it
until and unless you say the line in a funny way. So basically, it is all about doing and enjoying your work to the
best of your capability. If it is working today then good, but it may not work tomorrow,” he said.
Meanwhile, after several seasons of reality show ‘Bigg Boss’ showing contestants fighting and hurling abuses, the
sixth season will be a “family” one, host Salman has promised.
I get to watch all the episodes including those things that we can’t air on TV as it is completely messed up.
We can show only certain things. So I know who is behaving in what way. Little fights and all people do enjoy, but when it goes overboard it’s irritating,” the actor said.
People want to watch some nice things. And this time it will be a family show for the fact that we shifted it from
11 PM to 9 PM slot. As a channel, we try and put out as much decent things as we can,” he added.
