Superstar Salman Khan, who has a huge fan following of his own and is often termed as Rajnikanth of Bolllywood, wishes to reach closer to the south superstar's stardom.
Hundreds of fans gathered at a suburban theatre to catch a glimpse Khan as he unveiled the trailer of his film 'Jai Ho' this evening.
"I do not consider myself that way (Rajnikanth of Bollywood). As a person, if I come close to him, I would be really happy," Khan told reporters here.
Directed by Sohail Khan, 'Jai Ho' is the story of a man who fights against injustice.
"I stand for justice every say. I consider myself as a common man as I do things which a common man does in day-to- day life. Like I ride bicycle, rickshaw, I prefer taking fresh air while travelling in car, etc. Whatever I am today...A superstar is because of my fans. If they wouldn't have loved my first film Maine Pyaar Kiya, then I wouldn't be here," Khan said.
