His close friend Shah Rukh Khan began his Bollywood career with a negative role. But Salman Khan has never treaded that path.

From Sooraj Barjatya's quintessential Prem to the love boy Raadhe to the flamboyant Chulbul Pandey, Salman has portrayed innumerable roles in a career spanning over almost three decades. He has played a chocolate boy, a policewala, a good-hearted goon, a prince on the big screen. But never has he essayed the role of a baddie in his entire career.

Earlier there were rumours that Salman might play a villain in Dhoom 4, but the 53-year-old actor has no such plans.

"Having worked in the film industry for so long, I have noticed that the youth often follow whatever a hero does. They blindly ape their favourite stars. That's why I have decided never to play a villain on screen because people can get impressed by my actions," he told Deccan Chronicle.

"I don't want my fans to follow me and indulge in any wrong-doings," he added.

Currently, Salman is busy with Ali Abbas Zafar's Bharat. After Race 3 debacle, Salman is doing everything to get back to the big screen with a bang. And this time he has collaborated with Ali and Katrina Kaif for his next.

Bharat, which also stars Disha Patani, is set to hit the screens on Eid 2019.
