Sohail: Salman would be worried if the ticket-paying audience was unhappy with his film

According to trade analysts, Salman Khan’s movie ‘Tubelight’ has had the lowest opening in the past six years of his Eid releases. While the Box Office numbers are slowly escalating, there’s no doubt about the fact that the movie did not create the roar everyone expected it would.
While it got slammed by critics, Sohail claims that his brother Salman was unaffected by the critical backlash against the film, and the thing that would truly affect the superstar is if the ticket-paying audience was unhappy with his film. “Salman bhai would be really worried if his fans and the people who pay money to watch his film were not happy, because he is really concerned about the ticket-paying audiences, who must not feel let down at any cost. It is what the public feels that bothers him. Salman bhai is a responsible actor. Contrary to the image, he takes his duties towards his fans very seriously,” said Sohail.
He continued, “Of course, critics have every right to feel whatever they think right. And bhai accepts that without prejudice or suspicion. But they should avoid personal comments and barbs aimed at an actor’s personal life. Please review the film, not Salman bhai’s life.”
“People are confused. ‘Tubelight’ is not a typical Salman Khan film. He weeps and wears his heart on his sleeve. Such emotional transparency is hard to accept in Salman Bhai because he has a larger-than-life image. He now wants to experience what it feels like to play characters that are different from what he is in real life. We should appreciate that,” said Sohail before signing off.
