During the conversation, Karan Johar also highlighted the continued popularity of established Bollywood stars, pointing out that 2026 will see films featuring major names such as Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan. He noted that their ability to attract audiences shows that their generation continues to remain relevant.
Responding to Karan, Salman said, “We (our generation) are interested in our work. We want to get out of our houses, do good work. Sometimes, it turns out right, sometimes it does not.”
The actor also spoke about the importance of having a clear creative vision while making a film. He said, “The films that we make are films that every Hindustani would be comfortable to see with the whole family.”
Salman added that he generally has a clear idea of how he wants his projects to look. “With most of my films, I see a vision, how they are going to turn out. If the director doesn't see that, that's where the gadbad happens,” he said.
