Salman Khan is basking in the success of his latest release Dabangg 3, co-starring Sonakshi Sinha, Saiee Manjrekar and Kiccha Sudeep. As he marks his return to the role of Robin Hood-like cop Chulbul Pandey, his fans haven't been able to keep calm. In fact, the film has already crossed Rs 100 crore mark in its first week itself.
Nonetheless, Salman has cemented a larger-than-life hero image with films like Wanted, Kick, Bharat and the Dabangg series. In fact, he feels that heroism is here to stay. "I feel when fans go to theatre they should want to be you and they should come out happier. Basically that is my funda to do movies. I don't think heroism can ever die.It can never die. There are times when you feel there is too much of it (heroism) so you try and control it, to get the right balance is difficult. I am lucky on cracking it," Salman, 53, told a leading news agency.
Recalling how he used to imitate the moves of the Hollywood martial arts legend Bruce Lee in his growing up years, Salman pointed out, "I am a big movie fan myself. We would see the posters of a film and decide whether we want to see the film or not. Today, we have trailers and people make their mind to see a movie if they liked it. When I would come out of a movie theatre after watching a film, I wanted to be that hero, feeling good."
Last but not the least, Salman stated how star power cannot do anything if the content of the film is not good. "You say star power (works), but if the film is not good, then it doesn't hold at all. The subject is important. The scenes and music have to be good. If a boring scene comes, people get busy with their phones," he signed off by saying.
Currently, Salman has Radhe, Kick 2 and Veteran in the pipeline and he is also 'hearing scripts from Farhan Akhtar'.
