Trust
Salman
Khan
to
always
court
extremes.
So
far
he
has
not
done
even
a
short
film
on
a
public
issue.
Now
starting
next
month
we"ll
see
him
in
as
many
as
30
films
on
television
one
after
another,
all
for
a
cause.
Salman
Khan
has
never
done
so
many
medium
coverage
before,
and
there"s
a
good
reason
for
it.
Almost
all
the
marketing
for
Wanted
will
benefit
Salman"s
new
charity
concern
Being
Human
in
one
way
or
another.
In
fact,
Boney
Kapoor"s
company
has
created
30
public-awareness
short
films
with
Salman,
which
will
begin
airing
a
week
before
the
release
of
Wanted.
These
films
will
have
Salman
addressing
the
public
about
social
issues
such
as
drugs,
old
people,
crime,
etc.
Boney
says,
“It"s
true
Salman"s
keen
interest
in
marketing
Wanted
has
a
lot
to
do
with
his
newly-discovered
craving
for
organized
social
work.
This
was
a
side
to
Salman
that
always
existed.
It
just
needed
to
be
harnessed.
Earlier
too
he
contributed
hugely
to
charitable
and
social
causes.
But
not
in
this
organized
fashion."
The
30
short
films
directed
by
Nikhil
Saini
are
expected
to
give
Salman
a
new
image.
He
has
always
been
seen
to
have
the
picture
of
an
infant
terrible.
Now
Salman
wants
to
change
that.
He
has
seen
his
colleagues
create
public
awareness.
Now
it"s
his
turn.
Says
Boney,
“About
time.
The
30
short
films
will
be
unleashed
in
quick
succession
one
after
another.
Salman
is
one
of
the
best
human
beings
I"ve
met.
We
first
bonded
over
Vodka
and
Bacardi
in
Hyderabad
when
he
was
shooting
for
Judwaa,
and
I
for
Judaai.
Later
I
asked
him
to
do
a
2-day
appearance
in
Sirf
Tum.
He
immediately
agreed.
When
I
asked
his
fee,
he
said
he
wanted
another
drinking
session
like
the
one
in
Hyderabad.
Then
he
did
No
Entry
for
me
at
time
when
I
was
going
through
a
low.
Even
for
Milenge
Milenge
he
agreed
to
a
cameo,
until
he
opted
out
for
whatever
reason."
Salman
had
abandoned
the
project
because
of
differences
with
Shahid
Kapoor.
Says
Boney,
“For
Wanted,
we
wanted
Salman
to
completely
abandon
the
bad
boy
image.
Salman
is
a
youth
icon.
And
those
30
short
films
on
public
issues
we"ve
produced,
will
project
him
as
a
responsible
citizen
and
an
icon
who
knows
his
duties."
