Mumbai: After ‘Sikandar’ failed to impress the audience and critics, Gaiety Galaxy owner Manoj Desai opened up about the public reaction and slammed Salman Khan for killing Rashmika Mandanna’s character early in the film.
During an interview with Vickey Lalwani, Manoj said, “I have gotten reviews from the public, and trade analyst Komal Nahta also told me that, ‘What was the need to kill the heroine so early on in the film?’ ‘What complex did you have?’ And then, when you take the film forward, if you feel something isn’t right… aap kyu asal mein Salman Khan dikhte nahi ho (Why doesn’t the real Salman Khan come forth in the film?)”
He further said, “I know you will feel bad because of my interview because I am your friend, and Gaiety Galaxy is your second home but I am telling what the public is telling me. I can’t lie because this is what public is saying.”
On Friday, ‘Sikandar’ producer Sajid Nadiadwala shared that the film has minted around Rs 170 crore globally in five days.
