Salman Khan is upbeat about his latest movie, Heroes.

Speaking for the movie, he said,” Heroes brought tears to my eyes about six or seven times while watching it. That’s the maximum I’ve cried while watching any film. Samir Karnik has done an outstanding job with Heroes. He is the true hero. The film is also very well shot.”

Despite the outward packaging of the Film, Salman Khan says the there is nothing to do with war on the battlefield. Heroes has nothing to do with war, fights and violence. Sohail Khan and Vatsal Seth have to deliver three letters to the parents of the three shaheed jawans. Heroes is not a Gadar or a Border or Maa Tujhe Salaam. When you see this film, you’ll know that it is a very entertaining film with an important message.”

Asked how come he put his faith in Sameer Karnik who delivered two duds earlier( Nanhe Jaisalmer, Kyun, ho gaya Na), Salman Khan replied,” First of all, I told Samir not to make Nanhe Jaisalme but he wanted to do it. He did approach me for Nanhe Jaisalmer but I said no. Then he comes up with Heroes, to which I immediately said yes. I think this film is going to be a sure-fire hit. I mean, I will be surprised if Heroes did not do well. Plus Eros International is doing the marketing. I mean, their last Samir Karnik film did not work. So I hope they do justice to Heroes.”

How much of Salman Khan is prsent in the charater, Balkhan Singh? Every character I play is somewhere close to me. There is some personality in me which has to have this resemblance. If I don’t have that spark of the character, I cannot play it. I choose those roles in which I think I can comfortably do it. My onscreen roles bring out some kind of Salman Khan which is offscreen. Balkar Singh is tough, patriotic, loving and a good guy. I too am a good guy and not a bad one, as many people think I am.”

Touche!
