No ego to beat Shah Rukh, Aamir Khan's films at box office: Salman Khan

December 13, 2013

Salman_KhanMumbai, Dec 13: With Bollywood witnessing a trend of setting box office records these days, superstar Salman Khan says he does not have the ego to outrank the business records of Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan's films.

"I believe a film should be good. The promo should be the deciding factor for people whether they want to see the film or not. It (promo) should be good enough so that people would want to see the film," Salman said here last night during the trailer launch of his upcoming film 'Jai Ho'.

"Today it is about Rs 200 crore, 300 crore or 400 crore but I don't see it that way. There is no ego that if Shah Rukh and Aamir's film has done 'x' business, then my film should also do so and cross it (the record mark)," he said.

"I wish and hope everybody's film should do well so that the business is more, industry grows, etc," he said.

Salman did not have any film release this year, while SRK gave his biggest hit 'Chennai Express' in 2013, which earned Rs 226 crore at the box office in India. Aamir's 'Dhoom 3' is yet to release.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali's romantic drama 'Ram-Leela', featuring Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone, has reportedly earned Rs 100 crore at the box office. Even Prabhudeva's 'R...Rajkumar', with Shahid Kapoor and Sonakshi Sinha, is also doing good business.

When asked if there is any pressure to break the ecord of 'Ram-Leela' and 'R...Rajkumar', he quipped, "If these are good films then I don't want 'Jai Ho' to be in good film category."

Notably, Salman is seen wearing a hat these days given by his actor-friend Aamir Khan to promote the latter's upcoming film 'Dhoom 3'.

"Since the time I have started wearing Aamir's hat, I am getting those kind of genius marketing ideas for film. I hope 'Jai Ho' creates 'Dhoom'," he said on a lighter note.

Salman's 'Jai Ho' is slated to release next month.

Mumbai, Jan 13: On the ongoing protests against new Citizenship Law, Bollywood actor Zeeshan Ayub said that everyone has been exposed and the common man has understood everything and the right-wing people cannot make a fool out of them by giving vague statements.

Talking to ANI, Zeeshan said, "Law is supposed to give the citizenship but the way in which the criteria have been changed is the trouble here."

Disagreeing to the continuous statements put forward by the BJP government that CAA is not a hindrance to the citizenship, the actor further said, Things are clear now, people have now understood the facts, the people and the intention behind are now exposed,.. they can't make a fool out of common people any more."

Zeeshan said it actually the other way round, those people are the ones who are misleading the general public by fluctuating their own statements. "Home minister said something, the next day something else is being said in the Ram leela..people are getting confused., the 'Ranjahanna' actor added.

He further said, "Earlier it was Hindu-Muslim propaganda, but that didn't work, so now you are making it a case between two political parties.. basically you are changing your own statements." When asked about his take on the ongoing JNU Violence, the actor said the members of the alleged political party itself have come out and explained their part in the case and yet no action has been taken.

The actor finally said that people should develop a sense of humanity.

He participated in the TV music reality show called Sa Re Ga Ma Pa in Kolkata, earned money, gained fame and returned to Bangladesh. If the person insults our prime minister it cannot be accepted. So I filed the FIR, Paul told reporters.

Belonia superintendent of police Jal Singh Meena confirmed that the complaint was registered and forwarded to Tripura Polices cyber crime cell.

The complaint was registered the same day it was filed at Belonia police station under Indian Penal code sections 500 (punishment for defamation), 504 (intentional insult), 505 (public mischief) and the IT Act.

We have registered the complaint and forwarded it to the cybercrime cell because it is not in the Indian cyberspace. We have started an investigation into the issue, the SP said.

Rajib Dutta, the officer-in-charge of Belonia police station said that as per the complaint the Bangladeshi singer had abused Modi in a Facebook post calling him a "mere chaiwala (tea seller)'.
