Bollywood star Salman Khan has expressed that he still feels that heroism in the Bollywood movie is still lacking.
During the recent press meet, the Dabangg actor spoke about the humongous success of SS Rajamouli’s magnum opus RRR and other south movies. He also shed some light on his experience of working with Chiranjeevi in Godfather.
Talking about why South films work and what should Bollywood filmmakers do about it, the actor said, “The South Indian film industry has always believed in heroism, so have we. When you come out of the theatre, you need heroism. Here, apart from one or two people, we are not making heroism films. We should restart making those larger-than-life heroism films. I am doing that only. However, I feel these days, people have become cool and think I have become clichéd.”

“Heroism always works, as there is a kind of connect, and that’s very important for (cinegoers). We’ve had this format from Salim-Javed’s times, but now they (south Indian filmmakers) are taking it to the next level. Fan following there (south India) is huge, and now I am also working with Chiru Garu. They have a different style of films, and it is very nice. If you see Dabangg series, Pawan Kalyan remade it in Telugu. Wanted too worked down south. More such films should be made. Now we are doing Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.”
On the work front, the actor will be seen in Tiger 3 alongside Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi, as well as a cameo appearance in Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback film Pathaan. Soon he’ll be shooting for Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, No Entry 2, Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, and many more.
