Salman Khan is currently promoting his recent release, Tiger 3. Film didn’t do business on expected lines. His earlier two releases, Antim: The Final Truth and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, were also flopped miserably at the box office. Recently, during a roundtable interview, the actor spilled the beans on these two films.
Salman Khan Blames Pricing For Failure Of KKBKKJ And Antim
According to The Indian Express, Salman Khan spoke about the box office performances of his earlier two films, Antim and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. The actor blamed the ticket pricing and said, “When these films were released, people were not going to theatres. Moreover, we didn’t do blockbuster prices; we were going for popular prices. Our box office numbers were lower in those films but we focused on saving the audience’s money. How much did you watch Tiger 3 at? Rs 600, 1000?”
Salman said that the ticket prices of these two films were not more than 250. “Ek toh acha karo bhai. Humare number kam aa rahe hai, lekin audiences ka paisa bach raha hai We earned less, but we saved the audience money in that process. We did a good deed.” The actor also said that Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan would have made more money if it were released today.
Salman Khan Warned That His Next Films Will Have Costlier Ticket Prices
Salman Khan then kinda-warned that his upcoming movies will have too expensive tickets, “Agli picture mein hoga bhai. Kyuki aap jaise log (the media), jo hum karte hai, woh appreciate nahi karte. Hum aapko humare number bade dikhayege (My next movie will have expensive tickets because you don’t appreciate our intention. Next time, we will show you a bigger number).”
Pathaan And TJMM Did More Business On Higher Pricing Than KKBKKJ
Salman Khan conveniently forgot that Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan and Ranbir Kapoor’s Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar did business despite higher ticket price and were release before KBKKJ. It might be the content, word-of-mouth, and such things that really impact the box office collection of any film. Salman Khan is partially correct; people weren’t ready to go to the theatres during Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan because the movie wasn’t any good.
1. Pathaan: 543 cr (January)
2. Tu Jhoothi Main Makkaar: 149.05 cr (March)
3. Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan: 110.53 cr (April)
Upcoming Salman Khan Films
Salman recently reprised his role as RAW agent Avinash Singh Rathore in Tiger 3. The film also starred Katrina Kaif, Emraan Hashmi, and Kumud Mishra, and it was part of the YRF spy universe. The film was released during Diwali and turned out to be a massive disappointment as it finished lower than Tiger Zinda Hai, another YRF spy universe Salman film which released 6 years back.
He also served as a producer for his niece Alizeh Agnihotri’s debut film, Farrey. Under the direction of Soumendra Padhi, the movie is an official remake of the 2017 Thai film Bad Genius. Film tanked without trace at box office.
