Salman Khan on Race 3: Criticism by people with a few followers isn’t trolling

Twitterati, in large numbers, might not have stopped trolling the trailer of Salman Khan’s upcoming action film, Race 3, since its release two weeks ago, but the superstar believes it’s people with only “one-two followers”, who have reacted negatively to the film’s teaser.

Today at the launch of the third season of his game show, Dus Ka Dum, the actor was asked about his take on the heavy backlash, in the form of several memes that the trailer of Race 3 is being subjected to.

Looking displeased with the question, Salman asked the reporter back, “Are you trolling it? Are you trolling it?” When the scribe said “a lot of people,” Salman shot back, “Those guys with one or two followers?”

“That’s trolling? Who’s controlling that trolling, you know? No? How sad. When guys with one, two, three, four followers troll, it isn’t trolling,” the actor continued.

The launch evening of Dus Ka Dum, which is returning to the TV after nine years, also saw Salman lightly referring to the jokes on the internet around the Race 3 song “Selfish”. The song, like the film’s trailer, has become the new favourite of trolls, who have slammed the song’s lyrics, which have been written by the actor himself.

In the middle of a question asked by a reporter, Salman began humming, “Hello, Hi, How are you?” before commenting, “This song is also written by me. It hasn’t been released. It will be released soon and then get trolled.”

Kamal Haasan's Vishwaroop 2 distributor Reliance Entertainment suffers a Rs 25-30 crore loss

Vishwaroop 2, the Hindi version of Kamal Haasan's latest spy-thriller, has failed to make a mark in the Hindi belt. The movie, which was released in theatres on August 10 after hitting several roadblocks and overcoming financial hurdles, got derailed at the box office because of its confusing storytelling and unpleasant screenplay. While some reports suggested that the Vishwaroop 2 managed to earn a mere Rs 90 lakhs on the opening-day, trade analyst Girish Johar said that the movie has earned around Rs 1.5 crores over the weekend. Speaking about the average business of the Kamal Haasan starrer, Johar told Pinkvilla, "What I believe is Kamal Haasan is sure shot a big icon in Indian Cinema but I think the film had similar kind of fate in the first part as well. The audience in the second time around were also not that keen because last time also the film did quite an ordinary business in Hindi version. So probably, this kind of storytelling he is trying to bring, Hindi a...

Emma Thompson: I was always paid less than my male counterparts

Emma Thompson says she was always paid less than her male colleagues. The 59-year-old actor-writer said women are still treated as “second-class citizens”. She also advocated to publish salaries to reveal the gender pay gap. “I was always paid less than my male counterparts. Publishing figures is the first step. “It’s a forensic way of looking at how women are second-class citizens, and I appreciate that because it’s not emotional. This is the fact: this person does the same work for less money, and that’s just wrong,” Thompson told Good Housekeeping magazine.
