Salman
Khan's
character
Radhe
from
Tere
Naam
was
quite
a
rage
when
the
film
released
in
theatres.
From
the
superstar's
hairstyle
to
the
songs,
the
Satish
Kaushik
directorial
has
its
own
fan
following.
In
Tere
Naam,
Salman
essayed
the
role
of
Radhe,
a
good-for-nothing
college
dropout,
who
eventually
turns
into
an
obsessive
lover
for
the
girl
he
takes
fancy
to.
The
movie
marked
the
Bollywood
debut
for
Bhumika
Chawla.
Recently,
while
speaking
with
Bollywoodlife,
director
Satish
Kaushik
walked
down
the
memory
lane
and
said
that
the
actor
was
wary
about
the
stalking
shown
in
the
film.
He
revealed
that
Salman
knew
audience
would
love
the
film,
but
also
feared
that
its
message
was
wrong.
Shahid
Kapoor's
last
film
Kabir
Singh
also
had
a
similar
arc
where
a
medical
student
becomes
obsessed
with
his
junior
and
takes
the
path
of
self-destruction
when
their
love
story
goes
awry.
The
film
was
widely
criticised
for
romanticising
violence
in
relationships
and
promoting
misogyny.
Reacting
to
this,
Satish
told
the
online
entertainment
portal,
"There
are
quite
a
few
similarities
between
Tere
Naam
and
Kabir
Singh,
especially
the
way,
the
hero
pursues
the
girl
and
some
other
aspects.
In
fact,
you
wouldn't
believe
that
while
shooting
the
movie,
Salman
had
told
me
that
it
would
work
with
the
audience,
but
we're
sending
a
wrong
message
to
the
youth.
This
isn't
the
kind
of
character
we
should
show
to
the
youth
as
they
could
get
wrongly
influenced
by
it.
Salman
has
always
been
very
conscious
that
way
in
what
he
shows
to
his
fans
on
screen."
The
climax
of
Tere
Naam
has
Salman's
Radhe
ending
up
in
a
mental
asylum
after
his
lady
love
commits
suicide.
Talking
about
it,
the
filmmaker
said,
"As
a
viewer
and
filmmaker
though,
I
believe
that
all
kinds
of
characters,
positive,
negative
and
those
with
grey
shades
should
be
shows
in
cinema,
but
it's
necessary
to
not
show
negative
or
grey
characters
winning
in
the
end,
like
in
Tere
Naam."
