During his recent interaction with the media, Salmandefended his films and said that Antim was released at a point when audience was not ready to go cinemas due to the pandemic.He reasoned that unlike Tiger 3, they kept Antim andKisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan at popular (normal) ticket prices.
“When the film was released, we didn’t go for blockbuster (expensive ticket) prices. We kept it at popular prices. Dono mein bahut zyada farq hota hai. We released those movies at popular prices. Ek toh acha karo bhai. Humare number kam aa rahe hai, lekin audiences ka paisa bach raha hai na (We did for good. We earned less, but we saved audiences money as well),” Salman told the reporters.
Salman asserted that people went to watch Tiger 3 by spending around Rs 1000-1700 per ticket, while Antim and KKBKKJ were kept at a price range of Rs 250. He then joked, “My next movie will have expensive tickets because you don’t appreciate our intention. Next time, we will show you a bigger number.”
