Whatever
Salman
Khan
touches
seem
to
be
turning
gold.
The
industry
and
his
fans
say
it.
If
you
look
at
the
collections
that
his
last
few
movies
did
and
the
success
that
he
got
from
television
show
Bigg
Boss,
it
is
clear
that
the
actor
sells
more
than
anybody
else
in
Bollywood
irrespective
of
whether
he
is
appearing
in
a
movie
or
on
small
screen.
This
has
led
made
many
traders
to
raise
the
question
-
what
made
the
Dabangg
star
to
accept
an
average
movie
referring
to
his
decision
to
act
in
the
remake
of
Telugu
movie
Stalin.
Telugu
movie
Stalin
featured
Megastar
Chiranjeevi
and
Trisha
Krishnan
in
the
lead
roles
with
Prakash
Raj,
Khushboo
Sundar
and
Sharada
Urvashi
playing
the
key
roles.
The
film
was
loosely
inspired
from
Pay
It
Forward.
The
basic
plot
of
the
film
revolved
around
a
good-will
movement
and
the
hero
starts
it
to
make
the
world
a
better
place.
The
ex-major
in
the
Army
played
by
Chiranjeevi
had
given
a
brilliant
performance
in
the
film
and
AR
Murugadoss
of
Ghajini
fame
had
written
the
screenplay
keeping
him
in
the
mind.
The
brilliant
screenplay
packed
with
necessary
commercial
elements
had
impressed
the
audience.
But
the
collection
of
the
film
did
not
reach
to
the
expected
level.
Hence,
the
remake
plans
of
the
film
in
other
languages
were
dropped.
However,
everybody
in
South
were
surprised
when
Salman
Khan
gave
a
nod
to
act
in
the
Bollywood
film.
Interestingly,
it
was
made
under
his
own
banner
by
his
younger
brother
Sohail
Khan.

Popular
Sentiment
Broken...
Popular
sentiment
in
the
industry
is
that
producers
pick
remake
rights
that
have
got
only
commercial
or
at
least
critical
success.
In
case
of
Stalin,
Salman
Khan
and
his
team
took
a
brave
decision
to
remake
the
movie
in
Hindi.
Salman
Sees
A
Future
In
Stalin
Salman
and
Sohail
saw
a
future
in
the
subject
and
took
a
challenging
task
to
fine
tune
the
screenplay
part
to
suit
the
current
needs.
Jai
Ho
Team's
Confident
Decision
Industry
insiders
say
that
the
movie
bosses
of
Jai
Ho
were
confident
of
what
Salman
Khan
would
bring
into
the
film.
And
Sohail
Khan
was
interested
to
make
necessary
changes
in
the
script
and
present
a
perfect
movie
that
would
fit
Sallu's
image,
which
would
be
loved
by
Bollywood
audience.
Stalin
A
Telugu
film
critic
believes
that
Stalin
was
a
brilliant
movie
made
by
AR
Murugadoss.
It
was
made
to
give
a
good
image
in
the
people's
mind
to
boost
Chiru's
political
ambition
then.
Tailor-Made
Film
For
Salman
Stalin
may
not
have
done
remarkable
business,
but
the
film
was
appreciated
by
regular
audience.
Many
believe
that
the
film
would
do
well
here
as
the
film
is
tailor-made
for
Salman
Khan.
Sallu's
presence
makes
a
big
difference
in
the
film
and
the
signs
of
the
success
are
visible
as
the
trailers
of
the
film
have
become
hits.
Can
the
risky
Salman's
decision
do
good
for
his
career?
The
answer
will
be
out
on
January
24.
