Superstar Salman Khan feels that earlier it was far easy to launch star kids as compared to the present scenario, when all newcomers are well trained.
Salman, 49, is known for promoting young talent like Sonakshi Sinha, Katrina Kaif, Zarine Khan and Daisy Shah among others. Now, he is launching Suniel Shetty’s daughter Athiya and Aditya Pancholi’s son Sooraj with his upcoming home production Hero.
“Today’s time is very difficult as everyone is coming prepared, they are well trained. They are working on their looks, action (body) and dance and everything. In our times, anyone would get launched.” He said.
He said that in terms of budget, today films have become huge and it is a difficult time due to competition.
“Maine Pyaar Kiya was made in a budget of Rs one crore and 11 lakhs. Today it is the shooting cost of two days. In a way it was difficult that time but it is more difficult now, there are more problems. Today the budget is huge,” Salman said.
“Earlier people used to take risks, see and start making a film for three or four days, and if things did not work out, they would shelve it. Now before starting a film, Rs 4-6 crore is spent, so no one does that. Today there is more competition,” he added.
Salman said he thought that it would be better if the newcomers – Sooraj and Athiya – promote the film more than him.
“I think for a newcomer three and half to four months (before film release) all songs should be out, as the music should grow,” he added.
