"It feels amazing, thank you. 26th of November was a really good day for us because everybody was appreciated. Aayush was really really appreciated so we feel very happy. We feel very honoured. Everyone has loved the film. Mr Manjrekar has done a kickass job in the film," said Salman during a chat with IANS.
Talking about the incident, the actor, who was named in the Forbes 2018 list of Top-Paid 100 Celebrity Entertainers in the world, said: "If they had done this outside it was okay but they did this inside in excitement, it could've been fatal. People go into a theatre to have fun and enjoy is all good... I didn't want anyone to get hurt. This will never happen, they (fans) promised me.
The 55-year-old star, who is the eldest son of veteran screenwriter Salim Khan, made his acting debut in 1988 with Biwi Ho To Aisi. Ever since then, Salman has always given memorable characters such as 'Prem', 'Raja', Karan, 'Chulbul', 'Radhe Mohan', 'Radhe/Rajveer Shekhawat', 'Sameer', and 'Tiger' among many others. The latest being a Sikh police officer named 'Rajveer Singh' in Antim.
"Jo mera 'Dabangg' ka character hai (my 'Dabangg' character') that was inspired by his character from 'Wanted' it was just that I didn't touch the heroine (laughed)... I was inspired by the way he played his character in 'Wanted'... I have taken bits of that in 'Chulbul'," said Salman, who in the third instalment of 'Dabangg' was paired opposite Mahesh's daughter Saiee Manjrekar.
Salman, who also promotes humanitarian causes through his charity Being Human Foundation, then spoke about how he not only has a strong bond with Mahesh, but has a strong friendship with his entire family.
"Friendship is not just with Mahesh but with his whole family. So, his daughter was launched by me. It's all good and we have been friends for the longest time," said the actor, who has starred in some of the highest yearly grossers.
He added: "When we decided to do this film, it was very difficult. The whole journey was very difficult. It was like 'bro, will you do this film?' (and I said) 'yes' and it was done... And then it was done."
After the big success of Dabangg and Dabangg 2, makers have decided to make the third instalment of the series. Now, there is a good news for all Salman Khan fans, as megastar is all set comeback and entertain us in his kickass cop avatar as Chulbul Pandey.
