Salman Khan is gearing up for his next theatre release – Antim: The Final Truth.
The actioner is said to be a remake of the Marathi film Mulshi Pattern. Antim also stars Salman’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma and Mahima Makwana in pivotal roles.
Ahead of the movie’s release, in a recent media interaction, Salman was asked about his stance on the emergence of OTT and how the era of superstars was ending. Salman disagreed with the notion and also quipped back that if the younger generation wants stardom, they would have to work really hard for it.
“We will go, somebody else will come up. I don’t think that era of stars will go. It will never go. It will always be there. It now depends on a lot of things, selection of movies, what you are in real life, and more. It’s a whole package of things. This younger generation will have their superstardom. I have been hearing this for the last four generations, ‘ki yeh last generation hain (this is the last generation of stars),” the superstar said.
Elaborating further, the Antim actor also firmly emphasized that things would not be handed on a platter to the young stars.
“We will not leave it for the younger generation to take it easy. We will not hand it over to them. ‘Mehnat karo bhai, pachas plus me mehnat kar hi rahe hain, toh aap bhi mehnat karo (work hard, we are working hard at the age of 50+, you should also work hard),” Salman said.
What do you think about his remarks? Will OTT prevail over the ‘stardom’ factor given the changing times in pandemic or not?
Meanwhile, talking about Antim, it is scheduled to hit the theatres on 26 November 2021. It is clashing with John Abraham starrer Satyamev Jayate 2.
