Small films should be given fair release: Salman Khan

March 29, 2014

Mumbai, Mar 29: Salman Khan, whose movies often mint over Rs.100 crore at the Bollywood box office, says small-budget films deserve fair visibility in theatres as big budget entertainers, as they too involve money and passion.

Salman_Khan"People make small films with a lot of passion, they put their own money in it and if these films are not supported, then they would never see the day of light and hence, lot of money is lost," Salman said here Friday at the music launch of the small fry "Khwaabb".

"For big films, this is a very small amount but when somebody is putting in his own hard earned money there, then it makes a lot of difference. There is passion, hardwork and money."

"I think the small films should be given a fair chance to release and come in the theatres," he added.

The 48-year-old has earlier supported Vikas Bahl's "Chillar Party" and released it under his banner Salman Khan Being Human Productions.

Besides this, he also lent his support to Nitin Kakkar's National Award winning film "Filmistaan".

Los Angeles, Jan 27: Lil Nas X, Lady Gaga, Beyonce and... Michelle Obama?

Yep.

The former first lady can now add Grammy winner to her resume, after snagging the award on music's biggest night for Best Spoken Word Album, for the audiobook of her memoir Becoming.

Her win on Sunday gives the Obama household its third Grammy: former president Barack Obama has already snagged two Grammys in the same category for his books.

She faced an eccentric group of rivals that included Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz of the Beastie Boys for Beastie Boys Book and John Waters, the director-performer known for his transgressive cult films, for Mr. Know-It-All.

 Released in late 2018, Becoming saw the former first lady slam U.S. president Donald Trump for questioning her husband's citizenship and promoting the notion that he was born abroad.

"The whole [birther] thing was crazy and mean-spirited, of course, its underlying bigotry and xenophobia hardly concealed," Obama wrote.

America's first black first lady also dug into her personal life in her book, expounding on issues including a miscarriage, using in-vitro fertilization to conceive her daughters and marriage counseling.
