Salman Khan has been part of a number of
multi-starrer where he has shared screen
space with almost all his contemporaries
including Shah Rukh Khan, Akshay Kumar,
Aamir Khan and Sanjay Dutt. His camaraderie
with all these stars has been worth
watching. In fact movies like Darr, Karan
Arjun, Jeet, Ishq, Chal Mere Bhai have all been
multi starrer and have performed
exceedingly well at the box office. However,
the younger generation seems a bit
reluctant to take up multi-starrer projects.
Explaining the reasons why this is the case,
Salman told a leading daily, "The prices (that
heroes demand) have gone high and we
don't have such budgets. Hence, the
recovery will be impossible. For a two-hero
film, everyone has to cut their prices
drastically. If the dates permit, then fine, but
otherwise, asking actors to cut down their
fee is also not right. Also, for any big film,
you will need 150 days to shoot. Even
something on the scale of a Karan Arjun
would need that much time. But if the film is
divided, into 30-35 days shoots, you can still
think of doing something like that. For
example, we can make an Andaz Apna Apna
now. It may not be possible with Aamir,
Shah Rukh or me, but the younger
generation can still do it.
He further added, "There can't be
insecurities creeping in. If you're confident
about yourself and your position, you
shouldn't feel like that. We also were young
stars when we did films together. We were
friends and all this never took over our
friendship. The young generation needs to
realise this. He cites his own example and
says, "There was a time when my career had
dipped. I was not being cast for solo hero
films, I piggybacked I jumped on to
Sunny (Deol) and Sanju's (Sanjay Dutt's)
backs. I did a film with Rahul Roy and lots of
other people, too.
Citing his own career as an example, Salman
added, "The most sensible thing to do is to
realise that meri picture chal nahi rahi hai,
so I should rather do a two-hero film and
make it work. Once the film works, I'll start
getting back films the way I used to, when
my career was shining. That is exactly what I
did and the younger generation doesn't
understand that.
He elaborated, "They are doing well for
themselves, two guys or three guys get
together for a film, and if the casting is
superb, then instead of them individually
doing '60-70-100 crore each, their film
together will straightaway touch the
'150-200 crore mark. Point noted.
When asked if at this stage he would like to
star alongside his contemporaries, Salman
said, "I would love to work with everyone
I've worked with again. Whether it's Sunny,
Sanju, Ajay, Akki, Shah Rukh or Aamir I
would definitely do a film with them. But my
character and their characters should be
superb. The point is people are not writing
like before anymore. Previously, the writing
would give way to all of us saying yes to a
film, without thinking that we won't have
anything to do in a film. The scripts were
like that. Today, the seniors are very big
stars and they are heroes, so if there's
nothing for them to do, to take the film to
them is not right again.
