The year 2014 saw Salman Khan make a very interesting debut. He launched his production house SKF (Salman Khan Films) and even released his first film, Dr Cabbie. The production house followed it up with films such as Hero and even the big budget Salman starrer, Bajrangi Bhaijaan. However, all these films so far have had support from another studio, which has a big clout in distribution, not only in India, but worldwide as well. However, in a major development, the actor plans to go completely solo soon, with his next release with Kabir Khan, Tubelight.
A source reveals, “Salman has a team at his production house to plan things in advance. He wanted to set up a production house that will be independent with time and will make and release films on its own. Since its inception, they have done a lot of homework and made a strong long-term plan. As for the actor, his stardom is only getting bigger with each release. So the team now feels that the production house can finally handle everything on its own.”
Salman is currently in Mumbai and will leave for Ladakh in soon to start shooting for Tubelight. Amar Butala, CEO of Salman Khan Films is overlooking the entire process to ensure nothing goes wrong.
A source adds, “Apart from production, SK Films will also market and release the film on its own. Instead of selling their film to a studio, they will be taking on the risk of doing it themselves.” Meanwhile, his last release, Sultan, continues its march towards Rs 300 crore.
