Salman Khan’s Eid release ‘Sikander’ was the most talked about issue in the film world this week. Salman, who has brought a film for the public with his film on the occasion of Eid for many consecutive years, brought a film that disappointed his firm fans. The situation is that Salman’s social media fan club is now advising him to change his attitude. Salman’s fans are considered the most staunch fans in Bollywood and his rebellion from a film is surprising people.
Salman’s film has received the response in Bollywood, the case is going on with Malayalam cinema superstar Mohanlal. The Malayalam industry’s icon Mohanlal’s film ‘Emperan’ was released in theaters in the weekend with Eid. This film has now become the biggest film in Malayalam industry. Malayalam cinema fans are not tired of praising Mohanlal’s action pack role in the fans ‘Emoran’.
Criticizing ‘Alexander’, many people are also targeting Salman’s age on social media. But while Salman is 59 years old, Mohanlal is also 5 years older than him, yet he has given the biggest film to his industry. So what is the difference between the two superstars that their condition is absolutely vomiting with each other?
Mohanlal seems to be a superstar on screen as well as common man
Mohanlal came to Malayalam cinema in the distant 80s and till date he is a big star of his industry. Its biggest secret is that they are constantly looking for change in their characters. In his latest film ‘Emapuran’, he has played the same role that actors with superstars get a hero that no one can beat. But his character also has two parts. On one hand he is an international gangster and in this shed he is like any proper star. On the other hand, he is also a common man like other humans around him in Kerala. They are powerful, but it is easy to connect with it.
This is the highlight of Mohanlal’s career in the role of a common man. Mohanlal makes the character of an ordinary man amazing with his acting. Their such characters are completely real to look from above, but their spirit is like a superhero. An example of this is also Mohanlal’s origned ‘Drishyam’, which has been remade in many languages. This variety keeps Mohanlal a favorite of the audience. On the one hand, if he performs the hero type character running on the strength of his stardom, then on the other hand he also performs such characters which seem coming out of real life.
Salman plays the character to be disconnected from the audience
If you look at Salman Khan, then from many previous films, his ordinary man characters are also introduced in such a way that he does not look real. ‘Sultan’ (2016) is probably the last film of Salman in which his character was working and he was worried about the family. His background was such as common people. This was the reason that Salman’s acting was also seen in this character.
On the one hand, with all the personal struggle and emotional journey of ‘Sultan’, Salman could also become a spy agent in ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’ (2017) on the other side. Going back a little more, Salman in ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ went to Pakistan to introduce a girl to her family, being a Bhondu type wrestler. His character in ‘Dabangg’ (2010) was not just a supercop, he was very struggling on the other side about his identity in personal life. In the stories of such characters, the public feels an emotional connection with the hero. That is why the audience sitting in the theater wants his support and wants to see him winning in life.
These emotional reasons gradually disappeared from Salman’s characters. ‘Race 3’, ‘Somebody’s life or Salman’s latest release’ Alexander ‘was this emotional connection. These are all such projects that focus on showing Salman on the screen, the hero who does not lose. And this angle is now getting old among the audience. If you want to become a hero, then it is also necessary to romance the hero, Salman’s films are not able to get out of this theory. While Mohanlal was seen playing romantic angles on screen for the last time, his fans do not even remember.
Dedication to the director
Comparing Mohan Lal and Salman gives another huge difference. It is famous about Mohanlal that he fully surrenders to the director’s vision. He does not miss working with new directors and prefers to appear in new characters. Mohanlal believes in presenting the story with full power, not his superstardam.
On the other hand, it is famous about Salman that he himself has many ideas about his character, which he wants to include in the script. Many of Salman’s previous films are seen moving on a fixed formula, whose entire target has to show him a never -bending hero. Salman has not worked with any director for a long time whose name is taken in the film Lovers with great respect.
Salman has not worked for a long time with Ali Abbas Zafar, who made ‘Bharat’ and ‘Sultan’. Salman, who worked with Kabir Khan, who made ‘Ek Tha Tiger’ and ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, has been a decade. In every way, he is working on a made pattern which keeps his comfort up more than the interest of the audience. And now this thing has started boring Salman’s fans not only to the common cinema audience.
Salman is now missing the fans to surprise the fans and this is the biggest problem for him. On the other hand, Mohanlal is still able to surprise the audience with his film choice in the Malayalam industry. If Salman affects the response received by ‘Alexander’, then he should first work on stories that surprise their fans.
A story in which his character is not a hero from the beginning, a man among the people, but with his work he becomes the hero of the people. A character who has an emotional journey and he appeals to the public and not by presenting Salman once again with the same tagline that no one can beat this hero. Because now this superstar of Bollywood is weakening in front of his own fans.
