During the event, Salman Khan made a notable statement about modern masculinity. While discussing the work of the iconic writer duo Salim-Javed—comprising Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar—Salman expressed his thoughts on the current generation, saying, “Men today do not want to be men anymore.” He went on to emphasize that Salim and Javed were, are, and will always be men, highlighting the lasting impact of their work.
Salman further praised the legendary writers, saying, “A lot of writers write. Salim-Javed thought, they put their life experiences, what they’ve learned from people around them, what they’ve seen, what their parents have taught them, and the way their children have grown up. They have taken from life and put it on cinema. The rest of the writers take from cinema and put it back in cinema.”
On the professional front, Salman Khan is currently filming Sikandar alongside Rashmika Mandanna. The movie is slated for an Eid 2025 release, and Salman’s look from the film has already gone viral. Sikandar has been generating significant buzz since its announcement.
