Superstar Salman Khan asserts that
"Dabangg 2" is not a copy of the first film and the audience should
consider it as a movie after interval.
"It's not the same. We are not copying
and giving you the same picture. It's a different film," the
47-year-old said here Friday.
"'Dabangg' was of a particular genre and
now a similar genre film is coming out 'Dabangg 2'," he said on the
sets of "Bigg Boss 6" where he launched the item song "Fevicol se" from
his new film "Dabangg 2".
The song features Kareena Kapoor.
"Consider part one ('Dabangg') as the one before interval and this ('Dabangg 2') as after the interval," he added.
Earlier, the actor launched the promo of the new film.
Asked why he chose to promote "Dabangg
2" on "Bigg Boss", he said: "I am the host of 'Bigg Boss'. Wherever I
get time and wherever the channel feels that 'Dabangg 2' promotions can
be done, they do it."
Directed by Arbaaz Khan, "Dabangg 2" also features Sonakshi Sinha and is slated for a Dec 21 release.
The much-awaited look of "Dabangg 2" was unveiled on Salman Khan's official Facebook page and the star says this is to cater to new generation which follows movie news on new media.
Salman, whose Facebook profile has got 6.8 million likes, says he will also use traditional medium to promote his movies.
"There is a new generation following movie news on new media, so we launched the campaign on Facebook. We will continue to use traditional media. It's not about one replacing the other. It's one alongside the other," Salman said in a statement.
