Salman Khan: If I am in a film, I should be there the way people expect me to

Salman Khan's upcoming film 'Tiger Zinda Hai', has got fans all over the world super excited. The film has all the ingredients that go into a hit blockbuster film. It has high octane action sequences, romance and emotion all packed into one. After the failure of his film 'Tubelight', Salman had vowed that he was done with different kind of cinema. Interestingly, all of his upcoming films are sequels to his hit films.
When asked why it took so long to come up with a sequel to 'Ek Tha Tiger', the actor said, "The recall value of 'Ek Tha Tiger' (ETT), 'Dabangg', and 'Wanted' is so strong that it is easy to pull off a sequel, but that’s only if your script is better than the first one. Sequels should not be like proposals; they should have something definitive to convey. Until such time, you should not touch it. The sequel of 'ETT' has taken five years, though it could have been made earlier. It’s not as if there were four-five scripts (and nothing happened), they came up with only one script and that was it. The first thing I heard about the sequel was its title. When they told me it was going to be called 'Tiger Zinda Hai' (TZH), I said done!"
On reuniting with Katrina Kaif, Salman said, "Katrina is the most hard-working girl that I have come across. She is sincere, dedicated and sharp. Sometimes people are so beautiful that you don’t give them credit for their work. That’s what has happened with Katrina. Her beauty takes away from her work. While, sometimes with those who are not so great looking, you say, ‘kya kaam kiya hai’. People who are really good looking on screen, you say star hai. For this film, I don’t see anyone other than Katrina fitting in. She trained for her action sequences for four hours every single day."
When asked if he would like to do a comedy film, the actor said, "Yes, the genre is doing very well and I would love to do a comedy, something like 'Ready'. A family comedy where Anees Bazmee meets Sooraj Barjatya!" Stay tuned for more updates.
