Salman Khan has currently got the most unmatched superstardom in the film industry. He is on the brink of his next big release 'Tubelight'. At a recently held media interaction, Salman spoke about the anticipation and the expectation he has from the film.

Salman chuckles and says, "I hope when the film releases, it makes everyone happy and content. There shouldn't be any 'kaands' or 'morchas' for any reason. People should not be scared while going to the theaters."

His films set the cash registers ringing at the box-office. But Salman Khan is unperturbed by these numbers. He says, "I just don't get the math of these box-office predictions. How can one accurately predict the collections of each day before the film releases? A person might not be able to see a film due to various reasons. Someone can face a personal tragedy or someone else can fall ill. So how do you decide the collection of a Friday or a Saturday or a Sunday. You can't say anything till the time the film releases. Your hardcore fans will watch the film on the weekend, so your collections would be amazing. But, the response your film gets on Friday-Saturday-Sunday is the key to the success of the movie. The film usually drops on Monday- Tuesday, so the eventual lifetime business of the film you will only get to know on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday."
