After the disaster of “Hello”, in which he had a brief appearance, actor Salman Khan has made known his unhappiness about doing small roles in films and vowed not to take such offers anymore even if the proposals came from friends.

Salman feels doing brief roles disappoints his fans as many such movies do not have good scripts.

“There was a time when I used to sign films just for friendship but not anymore because my fans have suffered due to it. They go to cinema hall expecting to see me but they come disappointed,” said Salman, who is promoting his upcoming film “Yuvvraaj.”

Salman has been known for doing small cameo roles in many films at the request of friends. He had made an brief appearance in now estranged friend Shah Rukh Khan’s “Om Shanti Om.”
 

“In a three-hour-long film I come only in few scenes but the whole movie is promoted on my name. Naturally when my fans come to watch the film they feel disappointed. They pay for a film with their hard earned money. It is unfair on them,” he said.

Salman, who is playing the lead in Subhash Ghai’s multi-starrer “Yuvvraaj” releasing on November 21, said, “Now I sign a film only after I like the script and the person I am going to work with.”

Talking about his character in the film, the actor said, “I play a frustrated, angry and jealous man in the film.  My character is basically angry with everyone because he has always been deprived of love.” 

“I don’t think there is any scene anywhere in the world which would be difficult to enact for us Indian actors,” Salman said, adding, “We are on our toes all the time.”

He also praised Ghai’s efforts in making “Yuvvraaj” which has “lavish sets and a grand story.”

The actor, however, dodged a question on marriage in his trademark style.

“I do not know. It is up to Him. Marriages are made in heaven. I will get married when God orders me,” said Salman.

Taking an apparent dig at Himesh Reshmiya’s “Karzzz”, which is a remake of Ghai’s 1980 classic “Karz”, the actor said, “There is only one ‘Karz’ and that was made by Subhash Ghai.”

Asked whether the new version is a tribute to Ghai’s style of film making, Salman said, “Well they tried that but it did not work.”

Salman did not even spare his co-star Anil Kapoor.

Talking about Kapoor’s new found international success with “Slumdog Millionaire”, Khan said, “Anil is all set to leave us for Hollywood where he will do films similar to what Om Puri does.”

He praised the performance of Zayed Khan, who is playing the younger brother in this family drama.

“Zayed and I have traded few punches in the film. He is great in the film,” said Salman.
