I have no interest in doing Hollywood film: Salman Khan

November 17, 2015

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.

Los Angeles, Jan 27: Pop-rock innovator Billie Eilish on Sunday bested a packed field to win the Grammy for Song of the Year -- which honors songwriters -- for her hit "Bad Guy."

The 18-year-old beat veteran acts Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey along with newcomers Lewis Capaldi and Lizzo to take home the coveted honor.

She shares the prize with her older brother Finneas O'Connell, her primary creative collaborator.

The pair were gracious onstage, with Eilish telling her fellow nominees: "I grew up watching all of you."

"We just make music in a bedroom together," said O'Connell. "We still do that and they let us do that. (...) This is to all of the kids making music in your bedrooms today -- you're going to get one of these."

Eilish was among this year's most nominated artists with six nods, and is the youngest person ever nominated in all four of the top categories.

Best song was her second award of the night. She won earlier for best pop vocal album for "when we all fall asleep, where do we go?"

Before she released the album in March 2019, Eilish had already assembled a fervent online following for her bold, often haunting pop sound.

In August, Eilish became the first musician born in the 2000s to top the Billboard Hot 100, when she dethroned Lil Nas X, who spent a record-breaking 19 weeks at the top with viral hit "Old Town Road."

The artist named Billboard's 2019 Woman of the Year has also written and will perform the theme song for the upcoming James Bond film "No Time To Die."

"I feel like I'm not supposed to be here," she told E! television on the red carpet before the gala. "Life is weird."
