Megastar Salman Khan is the biggest superstars in the continent Asia and one of the biggest star of the globe. Honestly, the title ‘Superstar’ underestimates his mesmerizing aura, infact he is more than a Superstar and that’s why media has started using the title Megastar/ Biggeststar for him, be it a Big screen or a small screen he is the highest paid actor of all times. Years ago Subhash Ghai offered him 190 crores for a film but then Salman Khan wasn’t available for another 10 years, still producers are waiting in a long queue and they are not lucky enough to start their projects with Beingsalmankhan. This unavailability is for both the screens. After making his Bollywood debut with Maine Pyar Kiya he became a big leading star. Salman Khan never chased big banners and big directors instead he worked with many unknown makers who became big names after the release of their films with him. He supported many film makers and helped them to stand in the tinsel town. And for doing some of ‘not good’ films he has had his share of ups and down, as well. But he emerged back and continued to be the superstar. In one of his old interviews, he was asked about his stardom v/s Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and the other Khans of the past, he replied, ” Aamir and Shahrukh Khan | SRK are undoubtedly great and they have their shares of Superstardom, talking about Khans, we all aren’t bigger than Yusuf Khan (Dilip Kumar) Sanjay Khan and Feroz Khan, and the craze of Amjad Khan after Sholey was amazing, but unfortunately he met with an accident and that broke him, even then he continued giving super hits ” In one other old interview, He said, ” We all actors are not even 10 percent of Dilip Kumar, Devanand and Rajesh Khanna, they shined like Sun,Moon and stars in the galaxy.” In the same interview he said, ” There was a time when Mr. Amitabh Bachchan became the one man Industry. That period was so much of compitition, greatest Dharmendra, Vinod Khanna and many more were ruling the industry, although then there were no good technologies in the industry. ”
These statements were all from his old interviews. Now what Salman Khan has to say about himself, he was heard saying, ” Every Friday we see a new promising actor, I might be the biggest Star for now but this not forever.”
Salman Khan has lineup of films. He’s ready to deliver his Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3.
And filmmakers are in the queue, waiting to hear the two words from him- “Let’s shoot.” Bollywood Reporter / www.bollywoodreporters.com says, ” Long live Salman Khan.”
