Salman Khan believes IPL 2012 will not affect Bollywood releases
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012 9:50:35 by Imran Shaukat KhanThe fifth season of Indian Premier League (IPL) begins Wednesday but this time the filmmakers and producers are not afraid of it at all as a result to which many films will be released during the busy cricket season. Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan, also thinks that IPL will not be able to put any affect on the releases.
The filmmakers in the Indian industry normally used to delay their films because of the IPL googly but Salman doesn’t see much of logic in it. The actor told the media that one of his hit films was released during the cricket World Cup and there was no affect on the movie.
“I don’t think there will be any difference if you release your film during IPL. My film ‘Biwi No. 1’ was released during (1999) World Cup, it was good and cricket didn’t affect its Box Office collections.” Salman told reporters here Monday while announcing his association with yatra.com.
Salman was also asked about his favorite team but the star replied diplomatically to the question.
He said, “The best team should win. I have lots of friends who own the teams. Who plays the best should win.”
Salman’s archrival Shahrukh Khan had organised an event as well in the city but his event clashed with Salman’s event because Salman’s event was scheduled to start at 11.30 in the morning before it was postponed to 1.30 due to his late arrival.
When asked about it, Salman remarked: “I was shooting for ‘Dabangg 2’ till 3.30 a.m. We packed up too late and I was sleeping. I can’t just get up and come for an event. I went for my workout, had breakfast, took some rest and then I came here.” (IANS)
The fifth edition of IPL will be held during April 4-May 27. There are nine teams participating this time which means that the cricket fans will be able to witness 74 games across 12 locations.
Well, all said and done, let’s see if IPL puts any affect on the Bollywood films.
