Mumbai, May 14: Actor Salman Khan, who won over the audiences with his performance as a tough cop in ‘Dabangg’, is consciously making efforts to bring the ‘macho man’ back to Bollywood.
“I am consciously trying to get heroes, macho men back.
I miss them. When my father wrote, the heroes used to be strong and central to the story, doing heroic things. I would go to the cinema and clap and whistle when I saw the hero on screen,” Salman said.
“The macho hero seems to have vanished. I feel today people are also missing the macho man. I wanted to make sure people remember the hero when they leave the theatre. That is why I am doing such films,” he said.
On why ‘Wanted’ and ‘Dabangg’ worked, Salman said, “‘Wanted’ worked because of the father-son equation in the film.
