This Friday you can catch three different and exciting films releasing at your nearest theatre. One of them is Salman Khan’s much talked Wanted. The film is directed by none other than Prabhu Deva and produced by Sahara One Motion Pictures and S K Films Enterprises. And who doesn’t know about the film when Boney Kapoor has done extensive marketing for the film. The poster of the film are not only adorning the multiplexes but even the bus stop hoardings in Mumbai. Before the release of film everyone has casted up on their eyes on Salman’s wavy muscles and the shining guns. Salman looks very different in this film as compared to his first film Maine Pyar Kiya, 20 years ago. And why not because the world has changed a lot with time and the current state of world is like war against the underworld. “It’s an out-and-out thriller, a violent film,” says Salman. Salman has played the role of an arrogant hit man in the film. He has no fears, no loyalties nor the conscience that tends to hinder action. But people still needs such hero in their life. “He takes the action a notch higher by his ruthless killings,” explains Salman.
Salman never played such role before. So did he make some preparation for the role? And he says, “I don’t think anybody prepares for a role.” He later adds, “Maybe Aamir trained his body for one scene in Ghajini and Shah Rukh did that for a song in Om Shanti Om… but I feel if you walk like the character in the film, and you can talk like him, then you’re set. I get that feeling with this role. It’s that kind of film. We need heroes. It’s time for people to stand up against all odds. That’s what this character does.”
Talking more about films, Salman said, “20 years in films have given me a confidence, an intensity that was not there earlier. In Maine Pyar Kiya, I was a kaccha baccha, but if I had to play that role now… that would require mehnat. The innocence, the awkwardness, the naivety, that am-I-doing-it-right feeling that I had for my first role; I would have to create all that now. Life teaches you… and if you want to learn, and you use its lessons at the right time, you’re fine.”
Of course life was not all the time smooth for the actor and he is still paying price for which he didn’t learn early. The film has lots of action sequences, but “The action is different,” says Salman. “I have not had body doubles, and cables have been used in only one or two scenes. It’s not action for the sake of action. The emotion here is at a different plane. This is not a body-body kind of action film. The man’s fight is not from the body, but from his heart. The strength comes from within. He’s like a Parsi, if he believes in something, he has the strength to take on the whole nation!” he adds.
The film also has dance numbers. And one could definitely expect those when the director is ‘rubber man’ Prabhu Deva. “Doing one step took 15 days,” admits Salman.
“But I used to dance a lot, I even entered dance competitions in discotheques till I came of age and realised that to look cool I only needed to stand against pillars! I didn’t know then that if I’d learned break dancing, I’d kick Hrithik’s ass today!” adds the wanted actor.
Director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has decided to call his next film Guzaarish! The ace director has signed up Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to play the lead roles in the film.
