Filmmaker Sohail Khan has said his brother Salman wanted to play a role – any role – in the recently released ‘Freaky Ali’, but the director had to deny him an opportunity because an actor of Salman’s stature can’t be playing a minor role.
“Bhai (Salman) wanted a role, any role, in the film… I had to say a firm NO” Sohail said.
“How can an actor of Salman’s stature play a small part? He will be a distraction in every frame that he appears. Instead, I requested him to lend us the name of his production house and its infrastructure, so that we would have a good backing for our endeavour”
Freaky Ali released in theatres on September 9 with Baar Baar Dekho. While both films failed to make a mark at the ticket window, Freaky Ali will recover costs when all revenue sources are factored in.
@Abhishek Bachchan, then all the works of acting in Chak De is due to Shimit Amin (although the stardom of kingu helped it earn a few more crores), in MNIK is due to KJo, in Veer Zaara is due to Yash Chopra, in Swades is due to Ashutosh etc etc….
The directors did everything in the movie. The kingu was strictly average in these films without his usual overactings (like in other films of his).
Muuhh hai, muhh mein zabaan, hai toh kuch bhi bol sakta hai, nahin?

I seriously don’t want to bash Akki as he is one of my favorites. And we supported Rustom in a big way. But you leave us with no choice with unnecessary bashing of Salman. But I won’t still bash him but will provide some facts and figures so that u dumbo can get some senses. See below.

____________________________
Notes:
1) Clashes in the festive periods haven’t been considered as both faced clashes throughout the years.
2) Post IPL releases are not included as it has been considered as a lucrative periods for film releases post 2010 only.
3) Eid, considered to be one of the three big periods for film releases, was created by Salman Khan with Wanted in 2009. It was non-existant or hardly considered for films releases before that.
____________________________
Since 2001 up until today,
-During the festive periods such as Diwali and X’Mas and other holiday periods like Republic Day and Independence Day,
-EXCLUDING post IPL and Eid releases (as they didn’t exist before 2009),
a) Akki had total 17 releases
b) Salman had 10 (or 11 if u still include Heroes)
Clearly INDICATING that AKKI had more releases than SALMAN had.
____________________________
And if you add post IPL releases to them,
2011:
Salman:
11) Ready – Blockbuster – 3 June (post IPL release)
2012:
Akki:
18) Rowdy Rathore – Blockbuster – 1 June (post IPL release)
2016:
Akki:
19) Housefull 3 – Hit – 3 June (post IPL release)
***************
Since 2001 up until today,
-During the festive periods such as Diwali and X’Mas and other holiday periods like Republic Day and Independence Day,
– and INCLUDING above mentioned post IPL and Eid releases,
a) Akki had total 19 releases
b) Salman had 11 (or 12 if u still include Heroes) + 7 Eid releases [3 ATBBs, 3 BBs, 1 Super Hit since 2009 make up a total of 19 films.]
Clearly INDICATING that, during all festive seasons and holiday periods combined, AKKI had similar or more numbers of releases to/than Salman had.
____________________________
Therefore, overall, the total of films realesed during festive holidays + other holidays since 2001,
Akki = 19 films
Salman = 18 or 19 films
Success Ratio (from Average and above):
Akki= 47%
(as 9 out of 19 films were successful.)
Salman= 67% or 63%
(as 12 out of 18 or 19 films were successful.)
Point: the stats show Salman has been way better.
The Ratio of Super Hit, BBs or ATBBs:
Akki= 16% (2 Super Hits and 1 BB)
Salman= 56% or 53% (2 Super Hits, 5 BBs and 3 ATBBs)
Point: the stats show Salman been supreme.
____________________________
In festive seasons and other holiday periods, most of the people are free and willing to spend. Therefore, the BO of Hindi films can perform to its maximum potentials.
For that reason, during those periods, the distributors and the exhibitors want those stars that can bring maximum footfalls to theatres and and moolahs at the BO.
For a film released in any of these periods, it has to earn at least Super Hit verdict to justify its festive or holiday release. Else, that is a sheer waste of opportunity
With due respect to Akki, although he has had enough success outside festive or holiday periods too, he hasn’t really justified the those periods or lived up to the expectations with his films. He has rather wasted them most of the time.
To be fair and square, as of today, only Aamir Khan and Salman Khan can exploit the festive periods to their maximum potentials and hence they deserve those periods. Even Shah Rukh Khan has, one of the most successful superstars, managed to take full advantage of them only twice in the long long years: with OSO in 2008 and CE in 2013.
All in all, Salman Khan is a megastar and Akshay Kumar is a superstar. Besides, Akshay has achieved some unique achievements like three consecutive 100 Crores grossers in a single year and crossed overall 3000 Crores this year. I applaud him and respect his achievements.
I hope you all learn to respect Salman Khan’s BO numero Uno or supremo status and his megastardom.
But Akki fans, consider the facts mentioned above and don’t become Iffers. Dont say if Akki can achieve 300 Crores or an ATBB if he can release a film during Eid. The stats show he couldn’t have done it in his lifetime.
And above all, nobody is stopping Akki to release his films during Eid.
CRACK has been scheduled for Independence Day 2017 although they could have done it for Eid 2017 as you all know TZH was announced later for the Eid date. He can still announce one of his films for Eid 2017 Eid.
Nobody is stopping him and he is free to announce his films on any dates like anybody else is. If he faces with others (or Salman especially during Eid), both parties should dare to clash. The party that dares not clash doesn’t deserve the big festive dates.
He won’t announce his films for Eids and it is not fair for his fans to cry foul because Salman announces his films for Eids.
Aur Ek Baat Batao, Ek Aadmi Saal Mein, Teen Chaar film mein karenge, aur usko Sab holiday periods for his films? ?
He is still having them albeit smaller ones.
Aur baat yeh hai ki, Salman Itna Bada Saadhu ya angel nahin hai ke, woh Akki ko ya kisiko dosron ko kahe, see I won’t announce my film this Eid just for you and you release your film in it!!!!
And he doesn’t mind if anyone clashes with him. We don’t mind it either. And he didn’t mind it either even when he was going through his worst phase. Aab kyun karenge bala?
So, anybody is welcome to release his/her film during Eids whether or not with clash. Not hard feelings at all.
We have had enough blockbusters. So we want to level up our game and see clashed with Bhaijaanz films.
Last but the not the least, Eid didn’t create Salman but Salman created Eid as a lucrative period for film release in 2009. Swallow this bitter and be happy
@Ash,because Filmfare awards cannot be won .It has to be bought .Even for nominations there arises some need to buy .That is why SRK in DTPH won and gets nominated for Dilwale
Star not actor ?
@Anand the whoever
Did I say brilliant acts? Lol
Poor Salman fans..
Don’t even know what brilliant act is.
N tbh abhishek is way better actor than ur Bhai.
Typo* did u say brilliant acts?
@ dixit slaman fans n their dumb stupid logics.
fA will recover cost because of very low budget not because ur Bhai.
“Actor” …?
LMAO !!!
he ha he
ha
salman can only act in court
or while playing with his nephew
@anand the original takla- LOL, seems like you can say anything to prove that your non-actor idol is an actor( forget good actor). Abhishek didn’t mean that BB’s success wasn’t due to lallu, he meant it’s standard was good due to Kabir Khan. For all the SRK films you have mentioned, SRK won all the best actor awards in all the award shows, whereas lallu’s legendary performance in BB didn’t win him anything except for establishing the well known fact that he is a non-actor and gets overshadowed by a child actress Harshali!!!
In these type of films(word of mouth film) every characters have to act well and sohail know that his bhai can’t act! So he doesn’t give him a role. Be honest sohail!
@ms-SRK has been winning awards since 1993. If he can be so rich since his initial days, then I’ll have to say lallu is a “Beggar” in comparison!!
@ Anand The Fake,
Bhai, Tere iss essay ka padhne ka time nahi hai, I rejected it from very first line…
Itna knowledge and essay writing ka shaukh hai to, EK ESSAY NON ACTOR PAR BHI LIKH DE PLEASE FOR HIS ALL RELEASES WITHOUT EID OR ON NON HOLIDAYS AND THEIR RESULTS…
PLEAEE PLEASE PLEASE, WE ALL WANT TO KNOW ABOUY THAT…
I AM WAITING…
In terms of acting skills
Salman >> Abhishek Bachchan > SRK > Uday Chopra
@Anand,
I m confused %-) , %)
Where did I say sallu’s great acting in BB,TN,HDDCS.
LOLOLOLOLOL
:-D :-D : -D
ROFL.
@Abhshek Bachchan aka @The Rap God.. Bashing from multiple IDs. Chameleon exposed. Ha ha ha
@NN, I have chosen not to reply to the similar rantings what ur mates have already done.
@the unmatchable makki, I know you wont ever understand or your brain can process facts and figures, jaise ki kutte ki pet mein, ghee hazam nahin hote…
These facts, figures and analysis are those that are intelligent enough to understand. Meanwhile, you makki keep dwelling in your habitat, that is tatti. :D
@ anand,if SRK’s acting was average in those movies then salman don’t even knows a,b,c of acting.abe lallu , SRK did best acting of his career in that movies u mentioned above.
In mujhse shadi karogi ,akki overshadowed bhai
In bajrangi bhaijaan ,munni and nawaj overshadowed bhai
In partner ,govinda overshadowed bhai
In hum aapke hai kon ,madhuri and that dog overshadowed bhai lol
Non-actor for a reason
@anand just beacuse he shares my opinion doesn’t make us both same person?
Again a dumb logic man.
I am the one n only. Don’t comment 10 times a day on each n every article though because I got some work to do.
@ Anand The Fake,
Bhai, Don’t tell us about your favourite food, We all know very well that what You eat and it develops your brain according to that…
Facts par hi baat ki hai, Bhai…
Tell na, What are the records of the Non Actor and results of the films which he released apart from Eid or on Non Holidays?
I know, You are even not capable to think of it coz after eating lots of shits of Indcine Users, Your thinking and brain started stinking a lot…
Bhai, Mat khaya kar itna, Aur khata hai to yaha gandagi mat fela, We truly don’t know about your brain which developed by eating the shit and garbage, We just want you to provide the non actor’s results of those movie which had been released apart from Eid…
Jawab de, Beta…
In terms of acting skills,
1.Srk and Hrithik
2.Aamir
3.Ranbir kapoor
4.Ajay
5.Akshay
Wow so many highly intelligent and knowledgeable persons are here who are experts in acting, even more than those who are doing acting from last 27 years……I have one questions to those highly intellectual DUMB IDIOTS, if you are so much expert in acting then, why don’t you guys go and join the industry and become the biggest actors of all time…..Yes I am serious if you all have so much knowledge than please don’t waste it here by commenting in Indicine, please make some use of your so called highly knowledge of acting skills……YOU IDIOTS….
But you know what I am think, that should I listen to you 4-5 Dumbshit here or I listen to those 3-4cr people who every time without a miss watch Salman’s movie and praise his acting skill……So moral of the story is Dogs always bark, so let them bark, because when Sher (Salman) roars, all these dogs will run away…..
@abhishek
Hahaha… Calling Bhai non actor! Abey dumbistani KABARIWALA in fear of non actor Bhai your gigastar runs away from Eid. Just imagine if he would have been a decent actor tera bhagoda toh kabka khudkhushi kar chuka hota!
@abhishek
Hahaha… Calling Bhai non actor! Abey dumbistani KABARIWALA in fear of non actor Bhai your gigastar runs away from Eid. Just imagine if he would have been a decent actor tera bhagoda toh kabka khudkhushi kar chuka hota!
And being a criminal is million times better than being a Deshdrohi! Mind it.
@abhishek, you talking about acting whose Flop Over-Actor every time struggles to bring audience in theater…..I know that if I talk about Box Office collection then you may leak in your pant, so let’s not talk about that……We talk about Footfall….Tell me you Idiot why your haklu fails back to back in generating huge footfall compare to Salman Khan movies……If Salman is not an actor than why the Footfall of his each and every movie is huge in compare to Srkay movies…..Leave this current time, even in their earlier time Salman’s movie HAHK Footfall is much higher than all movie of srk….Now please don’t give me that lame excuse of Madhuri, otherwise then even I can say that DDLJ is success because of Kajol……Thing is that people like you who never achieve anything in their life, always criticize those who are in top…..
Salman is better actor than dilip kumar, big b, srk, madhubala, sridevi, meenakumari……period
@the unmatchable makki
We had openly praised Rustam (Bcz Bhai promoted it). Still you namakharam mkkians are blabbering nonsenses on Bhai. EHSAAN FARAMOSH kahika!!
Abey dumbistani chichora relentlessly blabbering over Bhai’s holiday releases!/ Ans to a simple question….. Who stops your AUKAATless tiny star to release his movies on EDX???
Oops sorry! your AUKAATless gobar had also released his movies on Deewali & Xmas. But the results were same 60cr collections….hahaha.
Listen you gobarwala….at first let your jokerboy to surpass 150cr mark to be considered in the same league of Kangna, ranbir, Ranveer etc. Till then compare your jokerboy with guys like Varun, Sid, Arjun kapur etc..
@Ash, 1st tell me in which class you study, 2nd or 3rd or 4th standard…..because your comment is of at that level……Do you know that every year around 500 Hindi movies are release in India, and in these 500 movies approx 100 actors work, and every year only 1 actor gets the Best actor award, so according to your logic all the other actors are non-actors because they have not won Best Actor Award…..Right that’s your logic….Hatts Off to you Dumbo…
Do you know that veteran actors like Dharmendra Ji, Shahi Kapoor, Vinod Khanna and Satrughan Sinha also never won any Filmfare Best Actor Awards in their whole career, beside them Govinda, Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar also never won any best actor award, so according to your logic these all are also non actors, right……Go and drink milk and when you grow up then come here for comment…..DUMBO…
@ Tamed Tigress,
Gurra mat, Beta…
If Non Actor supports Akki then he knows very well that who is he in front of Akki…
He knows very well, He cannot achieve that much Akki has already achieved…
He know very well that he is nothing without Eid and if he will ever dare to release his craps on Non Holidays then what will be the consequences? That’s why I am requesting you to please share the records of this non actor apart from Eid.
We all know, Neither You dumb fans nor your non actor have enough guts to face the reality…
We also supporting you na, We are calling him a EID MADE STAR…
What’s wrong in that…
We are accepting HE IS AN EID MADE STAR…
@ Tamed Tigress,
Forget about Kangana, Ranveer And Ranbir…
Even these 3 actors keep enough courage to release their films on Non Holidays, They are superior even from your non actor, LOL…
Including your non actor and the 3 actors you mentioned are even not able to give 3 back to back 100 crores in a year and that also without EDX…
Tere Eid made star ki to baat hi nahi kar raha hu, Bhai…
Usse actor ginte hi nahi hai Hum, Ab bata AUQAT kiski kitni haih I think you eat wheat…
