Mumbai, Nov 17: Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan is not keen on doing Hollywood films and wants the Indian Film Industry to grow to an extent that no comparisons are made with West.

salman"I am happy being here. I have earned respect here and it has taken time for me to achieve it. I will have to work again to earn that respect and love there (Hollywood)," Salman told reporters here at the event of his newly released film "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo".

"If the film is related to us (India/Indians) then we will see. But I have no interest in doing Hollywood film. Our Hindi film industry should increase (grow) so much that there should be no comparison. We are happy with our record (box office record) of 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' abroad," he added.

The Sooraj Bharjatya-directed film has earned Rs 250 crore worldwide.

Salman who played a double role is happy with the response the film has got.

"I think this (double role of 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo')was better than 'Judwaa'. To break our own record is better and I believe in it as it means one is growing. I hope the record of each film

(irrespective of actor) breaks as it is good for the industry," the "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" star said.

Even though the movie is doing well commercially, s the critics have given mixed response.

"It happens as everyone has different opinions and we respect it. Today people are reserved about emotions... It takes time for them to accept anything. It's all complicated today. People think do such families exits today... We have mellowed down violence..We just kept all simple," the 49-year-old actor added.

While for the leading lady Sonam Kapoor, the biggest compliment is of Sooraj Bharjatya.

"I don't understand numbers. People have praised me in the film it is overwhelming. He (Sooraj Bharjatya) said I have done quite well and it's a big compliment for me as the director has liked my work," she said.

The director, best known for his epic fantasy hit Baahubali series, said they got tested after they developed mild fever recently which subsided by itself.

“My family members and I developed a slight fever few days ago. It subsided by itself but we got tested nevertheless. The result has shown a mild COVID positive today. We have home quarantined as prescribed by the doctors (sic)” he said.

In a subsequent tweet, Rajamouli said he and his kin are asymptomatic and “feeling better”. They are, however, following all the precautions and instructions.

“Just waiting to develop antibodies so that we can donate our plasma,” he added.

Before the coronavirus-induced nationwide lockdown was announced in March, the filmmaker was working on his upcoming period action drama Rise Roar Revolt.

The Telugu film, featuring actors Ram Charan and NTR Jr in the lead, is a fictional tale based on the lives of two freedom fighters in early 20th century.

New Delhi, Feb 25: The Delhi High Court on Tuesday gave time to Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to seek instructions on travel ban imposed on comedian Kunal Kamra.

Kamra approached the court against IndiGo which suspended him from flying with the airlines for a period of six months. Other airlines had also followed the suit in pursuance to this.

Justice Naveen Chawla said that the regulatory body should not have certified actions of airlines other than IndiGo to ban Kamra without conducting inquiry. The matter will now be heard on February 27.

Last month, IndiGo had barred the stand-up comedian for six months from using its services for allegedly portraying "unacceptable behaviour" onboard its flight.

The airline claimed that Kamra, while travelling on a Mumbai-Lucknow IndiGo flight, provoked a TV news anchor by asking questions over his news presentation style.
