Bollywood actor Salman Khan’s 2017 film Tubelight has failed to impress the audience and crtics. Kabir Khan diectorial had turned out to be a damp squib. It had ended up with lifetime collection of Rs 119.26 crore, nearly one-third of what a regular Salman Khan-starrer earns at the domestic box-office. Now, the star joke about his film.
In an interview to DNA, he said, “We thought that Tubelight will be a beautiful film, after our much-appreciated superhit, Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015). But for an Eid release, the public wanted to see something happy. In Tubelight, they all cried. They were like, ‘What the hell! Eid kharaab kar diya!’. They went into depression.”

The Dabangg actor quickly jumped to the film’s defense and said that it was appreciated when people watched it on television and digital platforms. He said, “Today, when the film comes on digital and satellite, people love it and wonder why it didn’t work. It did a business of over Rs 110 crores in the domestic market alone. So, even my ‘flops’ notch numbers. Bahuton ki filmein utni bhi nahin chali. So, I’m fortunate that itni badi hit film bhi flop maani jaati hai. I’m grateful for the blessings.”
On the workfront, Salman is currently shooting for Dabangg 3, which will come out in December this year. The first schedule of the Prabhudheva directoriol was recently wrapped up in Maheshwar.
