Salman
Khan
was
all
praise
for
his
Godfather
co-star
Chiranjeevi
and
his
son
Ram
Charan
at
the
recently
held
IIFA
Awards
2022
press
conference
in
Mumbai.
The
Bollywood
superstar
lauded
Ram's
performance
in
his
latest
release,
SS
Rajamouli's
RRR,
which
also
stars
Junior
NTR
in
a
pivotal
role.
The
Radhe
actor
said
that
he
is
very
proud
of
Ram
and
added
that
it
feels
so
good
that
he
is
doing
so
well.
Salman
told
reporters,
"It
has
been
a
wonderful
experience
working
with
him
(Chiranjeevi).
I
have
known
Chiru
Garu
for
the
longest
time.
He
has
also
been
a
friend.
His
son
(Ram
Charan)
is
also
a
friend.
He
has
done
such
a
fantastic
job
in
RRR.
I
just
wished
him
on
his
birthday,
and
on
the
success
of
his
film.
I
am
very
proud
of
him.
It
feels
so
good
that
he
is
doing
so
well.
But
I
wonder
why
our
films
are
not
doing
so
well
in
the
south.
Their
films
are
doing
so
well
here."
At
the
press
conference,
Salman
emphasised
that
Bollywood
needs
to
restart
making
larger
than
life
heroism
movies
like
the
south
film
industry.
The
actor
said,
"They
(the
south
Indian
film
industry)
have
always
believed
in
heroism,
so
have
we.
When
you
come
out
of
the
theatre,
you
need
heroism.
Here,
apart
from
one
or
two
people,
we
are
not
making
heroism
films.
We
should
restart
making
those
larger
than
life
heroism
films.
I
am
doing
that
only.
However,
I
feel
these
days,
people
have
become
cool
and
think
I
have
become
clichéd."
Salman
went
on
to
say
that
'heroism'
format
existed
in
Bollywood
since
Salim-Javed's
times,
but
the
south
filmmakers
have
taken
it
to
another
level.
He
added
that
they
have
a
different
style
of
films
which
is
quite
nice.
"If
you
see
Dabangg
series,
Pawan
Kalyan
remade
it
in
Telugu.
Wanted
too
worked
down
south.
More
such
films
should
be
made.
Now
we
are
doing
Kabhi
Eid
Kabhi
Diwali.
Such
a
time
should
come
that
they
remake
our
films
again.
In
the
south,
the
writers
are
very
hard
working.
They
make
films
on
beautiful
concepts.
Even
when
they
make
small
films,
people
go
and
see
them.
I
think,
here
what
has
happened
is,
people
think
India
is
from
Cuff
Parade
(in
South
Mumbai)
to
Andheri
(suburban
Mumbai)
only.
I,
however,
think
Hindustan
starts
after
Cuff
Parade
and
Andheri.
Actual
Hindustan
is
next
to
the
railway
tracks
in
Bandra
East
(suburban
Mumbai).
My
films
are
also
for
them.
They
come
with
a
good
message
too.
After
watching
a
film,
people
should
have
more
blood
pumping
in
them,"
the
actor
said
at
the
press
conference.
Salman
further
shared
that
he
enjoys
watch
south
films,
but
hasn't
been
offered
one
yet.
Workwise,
the
superstar
will
next
be
seen
in
Tiger
3
alongside
Katrina
Kaif
and
Emraan
Hashmi.
Salman
revealed
that
the
film
has
been
wrapped
up
barring
a
few
finishing
touches.
Besides
that,
he
will
also
be
seen
in
a
cameo
in
Shah
Rukh
Khan,
Deepika
Padukone
and
John
Abraham
starrer
Pathaan.
