Salman Khan says Varun-Tiger “set high benchmark” for newcomers

Salman Khan is known for launching star sons and daughters. However, when talking about looking after the talent he launches, he mentions that Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff set the standards high for debutantes.

“Boys like Varun Dhawan and Tiger Shroff are so good with everything that they just set a very high benchmark for the newer actors. When the new boys see their films, they go like, ‘Yaar, aur mehnat lagegi!’ If they’re not as good, or better than Tiger and Varun, how can I launch them? The confidence to surge ahead comes with time, but they also have to work hard to get to the starting point. Maintaining what you achieve is also very tough, which they need to learn,” said the actor in a recent interview with Bombay Times.

Talking about who’s next on his list to launch, Khan replies, “While I’m still figuring what happens with Shera ka beta, Tiger, I actually want all these boys to work together in a super dhamaal film, the kind that I have done in my past.”

Khan is launching Pranutan Bahl and Zaheer Iqbal in his production ‘Notebook’.
