Salman Khan, who is not only acting but
also looking after the business part of his
forthcoming film Race 3, says China is
opening up as a good market for Indian
cinema. During a media interaction, he was
asked if as a producer and distributor of
the film, he thinks China is a potential
market.
Salman said, "China is a good market for
our cinema. We have released Bajrangi
Bhaijaan. We are releasing Sultan in China
and we will release Race 3 also. I think we
need to increase our number of theatres.
Right now, we are still surviving on around
5,000 screens where China has extended to
more than 40,000 screens. So, I think once
our screen number increases, we will be
able to have such business. With the small
number of screens, we are actually doing
exceptionally well. So, just imagine, if within
10 to 15 years, we increase the number, we
will do great.
The actor, who has an action hero image,
believes that action stories work well for
the mass audience if they have high
emotional quotient. "Whether it is romance,
love story or a high emotional element, it
works well. If I am doing action, I have to
justify the reason behind doing such
elaborate action scenes, said the actor.
Taking the example of some of his earlier
films, he said, "Look at the films like
Dabangg, Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai. It is
always action and romance linked to each
other that worked at the box office.
Romance does not mean on-screen kissing
and all, it should be a family watch.
Romance should be in the eyes...
Asked if he is interested in experimental
work, Salman said, "I did Tubelight. It is
now one of the most loved films on satellite.
The fact is that it was not an Eid release film
where people are coming to watch a highly
entertaining, drama and comedy genre film.
When the audience is in a festive mood and
they are offered a film where in the end
they leave theatre crying, of course, the film
won't work at that time. Having said that, it
was a very endearing film and I loved that.
His contemporaries such as Aamir Khan
have played characters like that of an old
father for which he had to gain weight and
have grey hair. Will Salman ever be able to
play such characters instead of the
quintessential hero romancing beautiful
women on-screen? "I am playing a
character in my upcoming film Bharat,
where the journey (of the character) starts
from the age of 27, travels through the age
of 35 to 45 and ends at the age of 65. The
journey of the character has a huge graph.
But no, he is not an old fat father, it is
interesting, he winked.
Race 3 also features Anil Kapoor, Bobby
Deol and Jacqueline Fernandez.
The actor is working with Jacqueline for the
second time after Kick. Asked how his
bonding has evolved with the actor, Salman
said, "I know Jacqueline since the time she
came from Sri Lanka. She is still the same -
bright and a very vibrant girl with a lot of
energy. Nothing has changed in her. I
remember when we met, she was
supposed to be a part of London Dreams.
But then that film got delayed so she made
her debut with Aladin. Finally, we started
working together in Kick. We again worked
in Race 3. She is fun to work with because
she is a very good girl, added the actor.
Race 3 is releasing on June 15.
