Knew Himmatwala would be a hit when I started writing it: Sajid Khan

Knew Himmatwala would be a hit when I started writing it: Sajid Khan

Sajid Khan’s motto is to entertain audience.

Highlights

  • Filmmaker Sajid Khan, known for giving back-to-back hits Heyy Babby, Housefull and Housefull 2, doesn't believe in throwing parties to celebrate the success of his films.
  • "I don't believe in success parties. Every show where the audience enjoys the film is like a success party to me," said Sajid, whose Himmatwala is set to come out on Friday.
  • He also doesn't take critic ratings very seriously. As far as Himmatwala, which stars Ajay Devgn and Tamannaah, goes, he is not expecting any praise from the critics.
  • Sounding confident about his product, he said: "I knew my film will be a hit when I started writing it. This is my review. I don't even want a half-star review for Himmatwala. I will not even read one review. I don't hate critics, but I feel that 90 percent of them don't love cinema. They are just doing a job."
  • When Sajid makes a film, his motto is to entertain.
  • "I don't make a film thinking that I want to prove a point. No film can change society. People may say life follows art, but life has never followed art. Otherwise after Munnabhai and 'Rang De Basanti', the world would have been a better place," he argued.
  • He is sure women will love emotional scenes in Himmatwala.
  • "You will feel proud of being a woman as there are three to four scenes where you will start clapping. It is very relevant today," he said adding that "Women are far superior to men".
