Nikhil Dwivedi Says Dabangg 3 Failure Was Salman Khan's Fault, Unless His Films Make Rs 300 Crores People Call It A Flop

Salman Khan and his larger than life films have always been a treat for his fans. The actor’s last outing Dabangg 3 however got a milder response from the audience compared to the first two films on the franchise and now Nikhil Dwivedi has spoken up about the film’s failure.

Talking to Koimoi Nikhil tried to bust the myth that the film was flop and said he was happy with Dabangg 3’s box office performance. Defending the film he says, “Dabangg 3’s India’s theatrical business was 173 crores. That is bigger than some of the biggest hits of many stars in this country. The problem is not you and I thinking the film has not done well. This entire fault only and only lies with Salman Khan. He has set such high standards, the benchmark for himself that until and unless a film doesn’t do 300-350 crores, people start to say his film has not done well. I have never even seen what 170 crores look like. This has been one of the biggest hits of my career. What are we even talking about?” 

The producer added that Rs. 173 crores is a significant box office collection and in case of any other film it would have been a huge cause for celebration.

Nikhil has now announced another big film franchise Naagin with Sharddha Kapoor in the lead.
