Superstar Salman Khan, who has played action oriented roles in films like Kick, Dabangg and Wanted, said he found it hard to break his macho image in Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
"It was a difficult thing for me right now to play, after Dabangg, Wanted and other films. It was challenging to come back to play a simple character," Salman said.
The 49-year-old actor, however, also said that Bajrangi Bhaijaan does have action to some extent.
"There is action and everything (in Bajrangi Bhaijaan) but it is simple and all-heart. We've shown a typical Hindustani character so that people get a feeling, 'What a nice guy, bechara' (innocent). All the action films we do, they need to be backed with emotions. Otherwise, action is pointless," he added.
Released on July 17, Bajrangi Bhaijaan, is co-produced by Salman Khan Films (SKF) with Rockline Venkatesh and is about the bond shared between a speech-impaired Pakistani girl, played by child artist Harshaali Malhotra, and an Indian who is a Hanuman devotee.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, directed by Kabir Khan has surpassed the 100 crore mark in its opening weekend itself.
