Kajol heaped praise on Shah Rukh and Aamir's professionalism, stating that both of them deserved all the trophies when it comes to dedication, as they are very, very serious about their craft and discipline. However, while talking about their work. Kajol said, "Salman is Salman Khan. You can't argue with that. He's remained the same over the years, and that in itself is incredible. Even Aamir once said, 'Salman is definitely a bigger star than me, because no matter how his film performs, it still manages to cross ₹100 crore. And his fans adore him like crazy.''
When informed that Akshay Kumar has matched Salman in terms of box office with 18 films crossing the ₹100 crore mark, Kajol said, "Wow, that's amazing! But when we talk about sheer star power, I think even Akshay would agree—you just can't touch Salman's star power."
Salman and Kajol have appeared together in films such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya, and Karan Arjun. Their chemistry in Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya especially impressed the audience.
Kajol is all set to star in Vishal Furia's mythological horror film titled Maa. The film also features Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and Kherin Sharma. Produced by Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Deshpande, it is scheduled to release in cinemas on 27 June. Salman, on the other hand, was last seen in Sikandar and will next be seen in an action film with Sanjay Dutt. He also has Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick 2 in the pipeline.

Salman Khan's Sikandar Makers Face Rs 91 Cr Piracy Loss, File Insurance Claim: Report
Last Updated: In a surprising twist, the pirated version of Sikandar contained scenes not included in the final theatrical cut. Salman Khan's latest film Sikandar has suffered a massive financial blow after being leaked online just hours after its release. According to a report by Bollywood Hungama, the piracy resulted in losses amounting to approximately Rs 91 crore for the production team. An insider told the publication, 'An audit was commissioned to assess the extent of the leak and the resulting impact on revenue. Ernst & Young (EnY) submitted a comprehensive report that pegged the loss at approximately Rs. 91 crore." The audit reportedly measured the difference between projected and actual earnings following the leak. Advanced tracking tools were used to monitor illegal downloads and streams, calculating the financial damage caused to the film's theatrical and digital revenue. 'Such audits often include a blend of data from ticketing platforms, distributor reports, and forensic tracing of piracy dissemination," the source added. 'The Rs. 91 crore figure wasn't arbitrary – it is rooted in a loss of potential theatrical and digital revenue." In a surprising twist, the pirated version of Sikandar contained scenes not included in the final theatrical cut. These included sequences such as medical students meeting Sikandar in Dharavi, an extended flashback highlighting Kamaruddin's health issues, and a heartfelt conversation where Sikandar learns about Rashmika Mandanna's character's dream of becoming a lawyer. The leaked version also included a pre-interval segment showing the challenges faced by Sikandar's team, a deleted moment of Vaidehi's suicide attempt, and an emotional cab scene with vadams. The inclusion of these unreleased scenes in the pirated version strongly indicates that the leak occurred after the film received its CBFC clearance. With losses piling up, the makers are reportedly filing an insurance claim to recover damages. The situation raises serious concerns about content security in the digital age, especially for high-budget Bollywood films. First Published: June 17, 2025, 23:58 IST
