Salman and Katrina on Sa Re Ga Ma Pa


Salman Khan lambasted the trend of film stars promoting their films through reality shows on television. Ironically, he did that when he himself was present at the episode shoot of a reality show, Zee TV's Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Challenge 2009, Sangeet Ka Vishwayudh at Famous Studios Mahalaxmi.

Buzz18 caught up with Salman who had come alongside Katrina Kaif for promoting their Subhash Ghai film, Yuvvraaj. Salman told us, "I love coming to this show and this must be my 3rd or 4th visit in last few years. Last year I had come during the release of Partner.

But I see every single reality show today has a lot of film stars coming in to promote their films. For them then it becomes sort of obligatory to speak well about the show, shower praises on the participants and also plug in their films. I find this trend bakwaas (stupid)."

We shall see you opposite Katrina Kaif after three years in Yuvvraaj since Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya came. How was it working with her in Yuvvraaj?

"It has been as equally good working along with her in as it was working along side Anil Kapoor and Zayed Khan in this film. But let me correct you, this is actually the first time that I am working opposite Katrina in Yuvvraaj. Sohail was the one who took her away in Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya and then there was Govinda playing her romantic lead in Partner."

About his work experience with Subhash Ghai, Salman said, "I think I am a decent actor but a little unprofessional at times. Ghaisaab succeeded in changing my attitude. It was a great experience working under him."

It is after a long time that you have turned writer with Veer. What prompted you to write a period film?

"Writing is in my genes so I couldn't stay away from it for long. The film is essentially a father-son story. It is about this man for whom a word given to his father is above anything else. He even sacrifices his life for it. Tell me in today's times where will you find such father and sons? So I had to take the story back to 200 years when such fathers and sons existed in India."
