Never thought heroes we worshipped would ever leave us: Salman Khan
New Delhi
December 9, 2017
Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who is here with other
actors -- Sonakshi Sinha, Prabhu Deva and Kriti Sanon -- for "Dabangg-The Tour",
says he never thought veteran actors like Vinod Khanna and Shashi Kapoor, will
"ever leave us alone".
In the light of "Dabangg 3" releasing in March
next year, which also had Vinod Khanna essaying the role of his father in the
earlier instalments of "Dabangg", his passing away this year and Shashi Kapoor
breathing his last earlier this week, Salman expressed his sadness here on
Saturday at a press conference.
Salman said: "It is really sad... When VK
(Vinod Khanna) sir's health became bad and we lost him... It is a great loss to
the film industry and to his family and now Shashi uncle too is gone. Which is
really sad... We never thought that the heroes we worshipped, could ever leave
us alone."
"But still when we see their films and photographs... they are
still there between us and I believe they are immortal. I still can't fathom the
fact that VK sir is gone. I believe he is still there amongst us," Salman said.
Speaking on the challenges the tour which has till now travelled to foreign
shores like Auckland, London, Australia and Hong Kong faced as it has a number
of Bollywood stars on board, Salman says it's the task of "organising the dates
from everyone" which is "a huge challenge".
"Everyone is really busy so,
bringing everyone together on a particular date is a huge task. Also, no matter
how successful you are, there is still this fear that of making the auditorium
this full and bringing the stadium to be packed," he said.
The press
conference was attended by the organisers of the tour including Sohail Khan and
other actors like Manish Paul, Daisy Shah and music composers-singers Meet Bros.
Asked why the tour first travelled on foreign shores and then become
homebound?
Sohail said: "We create the package and it is all according to
the promoter. So, we got an immediate reaction from Hong Kong. So as we keep on
getting inquiries... For this particular show, the production is very huge."
"The good thing about this show is that it is a two hour forty-five minute
long show and it is all back to back with great performances. It has so many
artistes and we have a huge library of songs. We have accommodated all that into
a three hour package. The finale is breathtaking. The sound, lights... a show of
this magnitude has never happened before," he added.
After Delhi, the
tour will travel to 16 cities which are yet to be announced.
The
extravaganza will take place at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium here on Sunday.
The show will be directed and scripted by Sohail.
The tour's last stop
was in Auckland where Akshay Kumar joined Salman and Sonakshi for the grand
event.
