Acting was never the first priority of Salman Khan, wanted to become a writer-director!

Megastar Salman Khan is in Bollywood for around three decades now. The actor is not only ruling the box office but is also the ruler of millions of hearts. Known for his Bindaas acting and on-screen persona, not many know that Salman was never interested in acting. The actor always wanted to become a successful writer like father Salim Khan or a director. Salman, who made his debut a few years before Shah Rukh , believes, unlike SRK, he was not focused on acting. Talking to a leading daily, the ‘ Bajrangi Bhaijaan ’ star said, ‘’I think Shah Rukh was very focused when he came into the industry. I wanted to become a writer-director, so I didn’t have a lot of interest in acting but I used to do a bit of modeling. Viz-a-Viz acting, I feel one should go for it only when the offer comes to you. ‘’

He further added, ‘’I remember when I would go around looking for director’s work, everyone told me, ‘You should become an actor.’ So I spent six months only thinking about it. Then I decided, ‘Let’s become an actor’ because who would have given a Rs 50 lakh film to an 18-year-old director?”

Well, we can’t imagine Salman being behind the cameras. Bollywood would have never been the same if it Bhaijaan Salman was not around. For the last 10 years, he’s ruling the industry like no one else did and with the number of movies he has lined up in the future, even the coming years will be ruled by him.

Salman’s movie, ‘ Tiger Zinda Hai ’ released yesterday and did a mammoth business of Rs. 33.75 crores on day 1.
