In an interview with ET, recently Salman admitted that stardom alone can't do anything, and it is content which stands above all, "See, times change, audiences evolve, and trends come and go," he starts off. "Earlier, there were limited sources of entertainment. Now, people have so many options-OTT, social media, web series. But one thing that remains the same is that if a film connects emotionally, people will watch it. Stardom alone isn't enough; content matters."

He further added, "Today, people want engaging stories. Even the biggest stars need a solid script to back them up. No one is walking into theatres just to see a big name anymore. If the film isn't good, audiences won't stay."

He also pointed out how the definition of mass cinema has changed now, "Earlier, there was a clear distinction between 'mass' and 'class' cinema, but now that line has blurred. Whether it's single-screen theaters or multiplexes, audiences want the same thrill. Even in high-end multiplexes, people are whistling and cheering like in single-screen theaters. The culture of 'seeti-taali' (whistles and claps) is everywhere now."

He conclude saying talking about the art of fame, "At the end of the day, it's about staying relevant. You have to keep reinventing yourself, keep entertaining people, and most importantly, keep working hard. Stardom alone doesn't last, but good films do."
