I want all films to start crossing the `200 cr mark`: Salman Khan

Zeenews Bureau

Mumbai: As Salman Khan’s first venture with the Yash Raj banner ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ is nearing its release, expectations are soaring by leaps and bounds! The actor, who has been extremely successful at the Box Office since the last three consecutive years wants all films to rake in Rs 200 crores! Talking to a daily, Salman said, “Actors don`t do movies to break records. The idea is always to make a film with utmost sincerity. Records get made and broken because of statistics. The numbers of theatres that play Bollywood movies globally have increased; the release of films is now very wide. Naturally the returns have increased. Frankly from now on, I want all films to start crossing the ` 200 cr mark.” The ‘Dabangg’ star, who is also popular for his philanthropy added, “I was sitting with some members of the junior artistes association today and I was sad to hear that many junior artistes and technicians in the industry still don`t have money to pay for their medical needs and basic amenities. I hope all our movies make enough to at least provide these guys with a decent livelihood.” So will ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ initiate the Rs 200 crore formula? We will have to wait and watch to get the answer.
