All of us know that Dabangg has been given a National Award but the surprising news is that the script of Dabangg was rejected by few filmmakers.
Malaika Arora Khan talks about having faith in his husband Arbaaz Khan though he has struggled in the industry for 15 years.
She said, “I knew that he had the ability to spot talent and I trusted his sensibilities. I knew that one day he will make it as a filmmaker also, but I could never imagine that he would strike platinum with his first venture itself.”
She also revealed that the script of Dabangg was rejected by a few filmmakers before it reached to Arbaaz Khan. Everyone including me suggested Arbaaz to don’t work on this project.
She added further, “Yes, Dabangg was also rejected. Everybody said ‘Are you crazy! The script is new, the writer is a debutant, you shouldn’t go ahead with it’. Even I was doubtful if it would be worthy or not but Arbaaz was convinced that he is making the right investment.”
While talking about Dabangg she asked Arbaaz if he thought that the film would work or not, Arbaaz asked her to trust him.
Malaika says, “He just asked me, ‘Do you trust me?’ I said that I trusted him blindly. From that time on I knew that what was coming up was a great film. By the time the first promo was out, I knew that we had a hit in our hands. When it was just released, we knew it was a superhit. But it is now being referred to as a cult film (commercially) as it is the highest grossing film of all time.”
Though Arbaaz doesn’t feel any pressure by seeing audience expectation but Malaika says, “Munni was my best song till date. I feel the pressure to deliver a hit sequel but Arbaaz doesn’t feel any pressure.”
