"Salman Khan is the hero of London Dreams" - Vipul
News
oi-Staff
Vipul
Shah
is
least
perturbed
about
the
downright
pathetic
box-office
response
that
Main
Aurr
Mrs
Khanna
has
generated.
Though
there
have
been
murmurs
once
again
around
the
box
office
pull
of
Salman
Khan
(considering
the
fact
that
his
latest
film
couldn't
even
garner
a
face
saving
initial),
Vipul
Shah
comes
up
with
a
strong
reasoning
in
defense
of
his
leading
man
from
London
Dreams.
"Audiences
have
smartened
up
today
and
they
know
what
they
would
get
to
see
in
the
film.
In
case
of
Main
Aurr
Mrs
Khanna,
they
could
sense
from
the
very
beginning
that
Salman
was
only
in
an
extended
special
appearance.
Now
they
all
want
to
see
him
in
a
full
fledged
role
and
this
is
why
they
made
beelines
for
Wanted
that
has
enjoyed
such
a
terrific
run
ever
since
it's
release.
They
want
their
stars
to
have
the
movie
rest
on
their
shoulders
and
when
a
movie
gives
them
anything
lesser,
they
look
for
other
options",
argues
Vipul
who
is
quick
to
confirm
that
Salman
is
the
hero
of
the
film,
just
like
Ajay
Devgn,
and
has
a
full
fledged
role
in
London
Dreams.
Another
example
that
he
shares
is
that
of
Billu
where
Irrfan
Khan
was
the
central
protagonist
instead
of
Shahrukh
Khan.
"Salman
fans
had
all
the
right
reasons
to
believe
that
Main
Aurr
Mrs
Khanna
was
akin
to
Billu
as
far
as
the
screen
space
given
to
their
favourite
hero
was
concerned",
says
Vipul,
"Otherwise
how
else
can
one
explain
the
fate
of
Billu
which
didn't
open
well
in
spite
of
Shahrukh
having
a
song
and
dance
routine
with
as
many
as
four
gorgeous
actresses?
The
movie
had
such
brilliant
music
but
still
it
failed
to
bring
in
audiences."
"This
is
the
reason
why
I
am
not
at
all
worried
about
London
Dreams
since
from
day
one,
the
right
perception
has
been
created
for
audiences
that
Salman
is
a
key
protagonist
in
the
film",
says
Vipul,
"He
is
one
man
who
can
get
audiences
if
they
smell
from
distance
that
what
is
he
going
to
give
them.
I
hope
that
the
right
messaging
has
gone
to
the
audiences
already."
