Sultan- Playing to the galleries. Story of a student who wanted to top IIT simply by buying the most expensive reading glasses.
Sir Salman- Yes, your movie will go on to break many more records. Yes, your fans will hoist you high no matter how many times you feel 'raped'. Your box-office dominance will reach new heights. Yes, you have taken a lot of shine off Dangal.
Yet, your Highness, you will take a different path to greatness and acting is certainly not a stop on that route. I like to learn languages. Going by the absolutely ridiculous way you and Anushka speak Haryanvi, I think I'll learn it too.
It is very difficult indeed. Very difficult for you, Sir, to see what it takes to become a perfectionist.
Why is it difficult, you might ask. After all, you did toil so hard that it felt like getting 'raped'. Well, for starters, you pumped iron to make the character look like Salman, the hero. Ironic, that will work too, given your fan base (the quality of which needs some retrospection). However, the fact will remain- perfection in acting involves the actor diffusing into the character- becoming it, giving it flesh and blood- and not vise versa.
Just to lay to rest the bewildered Salman fan's curiosity to whether go his usual Mother-Sister about this critique- The man who sparred with Robert de Niro to prepare him while shooting Raging Bull (Haanfta Bail !) once said that the actor was so particular about detail that by the time the shooting ended, he was as good as a pro.
Dear Sallu Fan- Don't bother Googling Robert up. Haanfta Bail won't matter. Sultan will still be a blockbuster!
