I don't think image makes a difference: Salman Khan

Much has changed since he charmed the audience as affable boy-next-door Prem 16 years ago and today's Salman Khan is a formidable, larger-than-life action hero.
Salman is now making a comeback to the iconic role and is confident that his fans will love his innocent avatar in "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" as much as they did him in his rowdy roles.
"People say a lot about image but I don't think it makes any difference. In 'Tere Naam', where in the second half my character goes in mental asylum and becomes different but the audience accepted me. So, my fans have accepted me in different kind of roles. But, yes the film has to be larger-than-life," Salman told PTI.

Citing the example of his last blockbuster, "Bajrangi Bhaijaan", Salman said either the production value should be great or the film should have strong plot.
"'Bajrangi' role was totally opposite to my image but the film had a strong plot and it clicked."
The actor is not worried about switching genres as he feels "Prem Ratan Dhan Payo" is better than his previous romantic outings.
"There was no hesitation at all. When you like the script, then it actually does not matter but if the script is not that good and you are crossing over then it is a sure shot disaster. Now, if I do a romantic-comedy after my larger-than- life films, people will say, 'This we can see at home, why I should spend money and watch it in theatre?'," said Salman.
