INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
"Salman Khan's power" against social media trolls and that Salman Khan is the reason for Race 3's box office victory despite negativity
even before the film released
"There was a lot of negativity for the film from the word go
I don't know what it was, why it was
No film gets so much negativity before a release
It was being trolled for everything and anything
But Salman Khan's power is Salman Khan's power," Bobby Deol told PTI in an interview
"You don't want to hit a century and lose the match
You want your team to win
Sometimes even victories are not appreciated
I think Race 3 is like that - it was victorious but wasn't appreciated," Bobby Deol added.Soon after the trailer of Race 3 released on the
Internet it became the troll's favourite as content of memes
In addition, when Race 3 released on Eid earlier this year it was panned by critics
"A film cannot collect so much money at the box office just like that
There had to be a certain percentage of people who loved the film but there was a certain percentage on social media who were pulling it
His (Salman's ) film is a bigger hit than someone else's big hit
There's no way he's going to stop being who he is
He's a wonderful person," Bobby Deol told PTI.Bobby Deol confessed in the interview that the "negativity" around Race 3 "hurt." He said:
"No actor can be perfect in choosing things
At the end of the day, it was my first Rs 200 crore plus film
For me, it was an exciting thing because millions of people saw me and the hard work was appreciated."Bobby Deol will next be seen in Yamla
