Salman Khan was the first guest on Kapil Sharma's The Great Indian Kapil Show and he gave his fans a lot of memories with the episode. There was a moment where the superstar also spoke about the Sikandar Box Office debacle and answered it himself. Here's what he had to say...
Salman Khan on Sikandar debacle
Salman Khan met his three lookalikes on The Great Indian Kapil Show season 3. "Kaam-dhanda accha chal raha hai? Sikandar se koi farak toh nahi pada?," the actor asked his lookalikes. On hearing them say they are fine, the actor laughed and said, "Phir khamakha kuch bhi bole jaa rahe hai log. Jab aap logo ko farak nahi pada Sikandar se, toh mujhe kya padega?"
Sikandar debacle at the Box Office
Salman Khan had promised his fans at the promotions of his movie that his Eid release Sikandar would cross Rs. 200 crore mark at the Box Office. Unfortunately, that did not happen owing to various reasons, some of them being that the movie released on a Sunday instead of usual Friday release, to keep Sikandar’s screening closer to the actual date of Eid. However, the move backfired since the movie did not get enough time to mint money at the Box Office. Furthermore, Salman Khan’s Eid offering was leaked online hours before release, causing further reduction in footfalls in theatres. Sikandar, which released a week before Sunny Deol’s Jaat, managed to cross Rs. 100 crore mark a week after its release. For a Salman Khan film, that was considered a Box Office debacle.
Salman Khan's Tiger Zinda Hai joke with Krushna Abhishek
While many note that it has gone down in poor taste, there was a segment which went viral on the internet. It was where Krushna Abhishek, dressed up as a woman, suggests she wants to marry Salman Khan. When Kapil told Krushna that Salman is in no mood to get married, Krushna joked, "Bahut mood hai. Tiger abhi zinda hai." Salman said, "Zinda toh hai par aapke liye nahi." This got the people present roaring with laughter.
