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.”

Bobby Deol was the ‘it boy’ of the 90s but will his comeback still hold that charm?

With his curly hair, bobbling head and round sunglasses, we still think of “ Duniya Haseeno Ka Mela ” when we think of Bobby Deol. After a string of popular films like Gupt and Soldier among others, Bobby made quite a name for himself in the 90s. Bobby was never known for his acting chops. What he was known for was his swag, even though the word did not exist back in the day. His undeniable charisma and those long wavy hair made him stand out in the crowd. The 90s were a much simpler time. Words like nepotism weren’t thrown around before a star kid’s debut and hence, Bobby Deol was proudly known as Dharmendra ’s younger son. His older brother Sunny Deol was already the dhai -kilo-ka-haath man and here was Bobby, trying to make googly eyes at the ladies. It was expected that with Bobby entering the world of movies, this family would turn into a crackling team. Gupt, one of the rare Hindi films that really holds your attention till the end, was quite a hit...
