Salman: Wanted to bring macho man back on screen
Sonil Dedhia

He is the most Wanted man in Bollywood. The Dabangg star Salman Khan is Ready with a new treat for his fans.  

When Sonil Dedhia met the actor in Mumbai's Filmcity, Salman was in a good mood. He was cocky and caustic when he attempted a joke, but with the self-assuredness of a veteran who's seen it all.

The bad boy with a golden heart, as he's come to be known in the industry, spoke about his films, his equation with his heroines, and finally, marriage.

Controversies and Salman Khan seem to go hand in hand.

Main kya karu (What can I do?). It just happens to me. People don't like to read boring stuff. Variety is the spice of life. People want to read spicy stuff.

Do you hold any grudges against the media?

I don't have any grudges against anyone. I have never avoided the media. I am ready to give all the answers (Laughs)

After Wanted and Dabangg, you are being called the Rajnikanth of Bollywood.

I don't want to be anyone. I just want to be Salman Khan.

Your movies -- Wanted, Ready and Bodyguard -- are remakes of South Indian films. Are you going to continue with this trend?

There have been so many instances where they (southern films) have copied our films. A lot of my father's films were being remade in the south. In the recent times, we have Dabangg and 3 Idiots, which are in the process of being remade.

I don't believe in making remakes of Hollywood films because those films have been seen across the world.  The movies being made these days, have one gag from a French film, one action scene from an German film, and one character from an old film. This is usually the case unless a writer-director makes the film.
