Mumbai, Nov 2 Actor Salman Khan gave advice to his niece Alizeh Agnihotri, who is all set to make her Bollywood debut with Farrey. Alizeh is the daughter of Salman’s sister Alvira Khan Agnihotri and Atul Agnihotri. During the Farrey trailer press conference on Wednesday, Salman said he and his peers, including Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Ajay Devgn, continue to be relevant because they didn’t lose focus.

Salman gives advice to Alizeh

He also added, “If it (film) does a fantastic job, and if she (Alizeh) gets complacent then khalaas (it’s over). If this film does ok and she works 10 times harder, she will come up. All of you guys (cast), don’t get complacent, just keep working. No matter whether you are happy or sad or your partner has left you or anything else has happened, keep all that aside. Just focus on work and give your best.”

Salman talks about Farrey

Salman also shared that Farrey was originally supposed to be a direct-to-digital release. “It was originally an OTT film. But, now we are releasing it on November 24 theatrically. I thought these kids are great and have done a fantastic job because of the director. We liked the script, we saw the film. I was blown away. I felt this film should be on (the big) screen and that’s how it became a theatrical release,” he said.

Alizeh about Salman

Alizeh said Salman also cautioned her against overacting in films. “He said, ‘Be as real as you can. Subtlety is the best and don’t overact’. I feel the pressure, I’m human. It would be abnormal to not feel the pressure… You have to say the right things. It is extremely stressful but I’m very happy at the same time. It is a constant thing, feeling stressed and happy,” she added.
