Karan and Farhan don't want to work with me: Salman

With Salman Khan currently being the numero uno it is obvious that filmmakers are waiting to cast him in their films.

Some time back Farhan Akhtar had revealed that he has approached Salman Khan twice with scripts but Salman didn't seem to be interested. It is rumoured that Aditya Chopra would like to direct Salman after the production house churned out the biggest grosser Ek Tha Tiger last year which was directed by Kabir Khan. Ask Salman that why does he restrict working only with his own family and a few handful of filmmakers like, say Sajid Nadiadwala, and Salman replies, "They (Karan and Farhan) don't want to work with me ya."

But when one tells him that Farhan had approached him couple of times, Salman says, "But he came to me with Talaash..." This is a revelation as it is a known fact the the film was offered to Shah Rukh Khan which was revealed at the film's music launch but one wasn't aware that the film was offered to Salman, too. As per reliable sources, Reema Kagti the director of Talaash did meet Salman at his residence for the script narration.

Apparently, Salman and Reema were standing in the balcony from where they could see Salman's fans waiting outside to catch a glimpse of the star. After listening to the script, Salman, while pointing at his fans had told Reema that if he does the film, he would lose his fan following. He obviously meant that he had a certain brand positioning and was more popular among the masses while Talaash catered more to the class.

Its good to know that he is choosing his films well.

Aamir did an awesome job with Talaash, It was really his type of role and no one else can be imagined in place of him.

All this proves is that he cares about his fans more than his own career

Not really. It proves he cares about his career more than anything else. If he took the movie, it may not have done as well (I don't think it did that well anyway) because people aren't used to seeing him in serious roles. Thus he would lose his fan-following, and once they're gone it will take him forever to build that following (and in-turn his career) up again and get back in the game (he was in the dumps for years it's only in the past 5 yrs or so that he's come back into the race). If he has no fans willing to go and watch his films he will have no career.

See even Salman knows that he is a star of the masses...He knows where his strength is...and see how BW itself differentiates between masses and classses...Salman Khan is afraid of losing his audience if he does a classy movie...😛
