Whenever we talk about , either we talk about his super hit films such as Dabangg, Wanted, Sultan and Bajrangi Bhaijaan, among others, or we discuss his flop films or films which failed to set the cash registers ringing at the box office such as Tubelight and Race 3. As we all know, between all the acting, and dancing, Salman Khan is a producer too and more often than not, launches newcomers in the Indian film industry. After launching Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty, currently, Salman is busy with the promotions of Notebook, wherein he is launching Pranutan Bahl and Zaheer Iqbal.

Having so much experience as an actor and as a producer, Salman Khan was asked if he can pre-empt the response of a movie before its release, and to which, Salman Khan informed Pinkvilla, “Nothing.” After a brief pause, Salman, added, “Like for Tubelight, I did say that yeh Eid hai, people are going there to you know, chill kar rahe hai, masti vasti karne jaa rahe hai, and they are going to have a great time, Celebratory film hai, festival hai aur hume pata hai yeh script kya and that this film should not be Eid release. So they were like no no, we have got the date, how can we miss Eid. I said Eid date hai but yeh nahi ki yeh picture Eid par aana chahiye, who date chodo, aage chalo,” adding, “But at that time I should have put my foot down because jab log aae nikal kar toh who celebrate karne gaye the but sab rote rote aaye hai.”

For all those who don’t know, Tubelight (2017) was released on June 23, 2017 on the festival of Eid and the film was directed by Kabir Khan starring Salman Khan, Sohail Khan and Om Puri. Talking about public’s response to Tubelight, and the failure of the film, Salman, with a sense of regret, said that the film shouldn’t have been released on Eid but on a random Friday. “It should not have been released on any festival but a nice Friday, Friday ki date ko hona chahiye tha and now when people see it on satellite and digital they love the movie so the release of Tubelight was wrong,” Salman told us.
