Mumbai, Jul 17: Promoting his upcoming movie, Hero that has two debutant actors - Athiya Shetty and Sooraj Pancholi, director Nikhil Advani said that Salman wishes to worker on bigger movies like Baahubali, and he personally would not want the pressure of working on something quiet that big.
The director said, “Salman is after ‘Baahubali’ (SS Rajamouli’s latest release has reportedly garnered over Rs 200 crore in one week) which has done so well, he now wants Rs 500 crore film. I don’t want that much pressure. I started my production company with ‘D Day’ and I co-produced ‘Hero’, ‘Katti Batti’ and ‘Airlift’ which has got Akshay Kumar. I want to make nice simple films.”
Salman Khan too was present at the promotional event that had Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty present for their interview with the press regarding their soon to be released debut movie. Answering a question about the tantrums thrown by star that he casts, Nikhil said, “I have done a film with Salman. I have worked with Shah Rukh, Rishi Kapoor, Hrithik, Akshay Kumar. If there are no tantrums then you are not going to see their films. They are stars because they have tantrums and it is part of the game.” Speaking about the lead couple in the movie, he said, “Athiya and Sooraj are very good. Athiya’s trademark is her confidence while Sooraj’s is his honesty and his ability to connect. I think he is the most genuine human being you can ever meet. He has been through a very tough time it is a big day for him,”
The movie is all set to release nationwide on the 11th of September.
