New Delhi:
Director Kabir Khan says the Salman Khan's work in their upcoming film
Tubelight is five times better than 2015 superhit film
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, reports news agency IANS.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan was an emotional potboiler set against the backdrop of Indo-Pak unity where an Indian man vows to safely drop an eight-year-old girl to her home in Pakistan. The film stuck many movie-goers on an emotional level - remember little Suzi who cried her eyes out for Salman Khan and even actor
Aamir Khan cried bucketful? Kabir Khan said that Salman's performance is better in
Tubelight but added that he doesn't carry forward the pressure of the past film.
"Salman will be seen in a completely different way in the film (
Tubelight). If people have thought that Salman's performance is special in
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, then his performance in
Tubelight is five times better than it. The audience will see Salman's better performance in
Tubelight," Kabir Khan told IANS on the sidelines of
Lion's screening in Mumbai.
"I made a film and now it's up to the audience to decide whether the film is good or bad. However, I don't carry forward the pressure of the past film. Otherwise, I would have made another movie like
Ek Tha Tiger. We have made
Tubelight and if people like the film, the business will be similar or more than
Bajrangi Bhaijaan and if they don't, then it would be a bit low," he added.
Kabir also told IANS that he is left with just "one day's shoot" for
Tubelight. Recently, Chinese star Jackie Chan was in India for the promotions of
Kung Fu Yoga and
Salman Khan wrapped the shoot of Tubelight to catch up with him.
Of the challenges he faced during the shooting of
Tubelight, Kabir told IANS: "I shot this film in Ladakh. That was the most challenging... to shoot the film in that location."
Tubelight also stars Chinese actress Zhu Zhu and
child artiste Matin Rey Tangu. The film is slated for Eid 2017 release.
