In the beginning of their careers, many actors like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn or even a Sunny Deol, were typecast as action heroes. In time, they revealed their ability to slip into other roles as well. For instance, Devgn always known to be a brooding intense actor, has actually proved that he has a fantastic sense of timing where comedy is concerned. ’All The Best’ and the Golmaal series are a testimony to that.
Salman Khan , on the other hand, began his career with a sensitive, love story and then went on to do some action and comic films which have gone down well with audiences, who have now grown to love him in those avatars. The stupendous success of his last film ’Wanted’ and the earlier ’Partner’ have really brought the fact home that the actor’s fans really love to watch him either clowning around or bashing up the baddies.
Salman is believed to be feeling that he has been typecast by his audience which only wants him to see him in these two genres and has even confessed so in certain media reports. His comment obviously directed at the manner in which ’Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna’ bombed. While there is no taking away from the success of a ’Wanted’ or a ’Partner’, the fact remains that both these films were well made and executed by their directors, Prabhudeva and David Dhawan, respectively.
The fact of the matter is also that a Prem Soni could not do justice to his debut venture, ’Main Aurr Mrs. Khanna’. One would like to argue that where Salman is concerned, his choice of films, unlike most of his contemporaries, has not always been the wisest. He has ended up doing a lot more mediocre movies, due to various reasons, than them and that is probably why a ’Wanted’ and a ’Partner’ stand out and probably give him that feeling.
He has another movie coming up for release , Vipul Shah’s ’London Dreams’. It will see him in another avatar and it will be great to see how the audiences take to Salman in this avatar. Incidentally, besides ’Partner’ and ’Wanted’, audiences have also loved Salman in ’Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ and ’Baghbaan’. It is great that Salman feels the need to explore different genres and grow as an actor. Rest assured, if the film is well made, his fans will welcome in any avatar that he chooses to don.
