Salman Khan’s ‘Dabangg 3’ has not been able to dominate the box office as the leading star of Bollywood would expect it to be but he has no qualms about it.&nbsp;

Recently talking about the medium income that the film has earned since December 20 when it released in the theatres, Salman Khan reflected that these are “troubled times” as he said, “In such troubled times (for the film) to do well is remarkable. All the credit goes to fans. And fans have been very loyal to me and they have gone (to see the film).

He added, “In North India, section 144 was imposed and so those collections have not come. But they will go and see the film. I mean, first, it is their security and then comes Dabangg 3. In other states, we have done pretty well.”

There have been nationwide protests for over a week now in India against the Citizenship Amendment Act. People have flooded the streets ever since the Act was passed in the Indian parliament with people calling it “discriminatory towards one particular religion”.&nbsp;

‘Dabangg 3’ has so far collected more than Rs 90 crores in over four days of it running on the theatres. It features Sonakshi Sinha and debutant Saiee Manjrekar who play important roles. Arbaaz Khan also features in the film. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/dabangg-3-salman-khan-starrer-collects-rs-8115-crore-in-three-days-269759">This is how much it collected in three days.&nbsp;</a>

Salman has been happy with the overall response to the third film from the franchise. He said, “Because of Dabangg one, came two and now three, which is one of the better films. It is bigger, larger and there is more to say in this film. Sudeep is appreciated, the husband-wife bond is stronger, his back story, the innocence of how he became Chulbul Pandey. There was lot more to say in this film.”

“We have touched upon so many things like child marriage, dowry, water conservation. The whole film is on this plot that if you love someone but if they don’t, then will you rape them, throw acid or kill them?” added the actor.&nbsp;

Salman is not the first actor from ‘Dabangg 3’ to comment on the ongoing protests in the country that have translated to average collections for their film as Sonakshi Sinha too said,<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/sonakshi-sinha-caa-protest-is-more-important-dabangg-3-right-now-269741"> “CAA protest is more important than 'Dabangg 3' right now.”</a>

Salman Khan on CAA: First it is their security and then comes 'Dabangg 3'

The people wanted them to speak and they are voicing their opinion on the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), one by one.

We are talking about A-lister Bollywood celebrities.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/anurag-kashyap-richa-chadha-anubhav-sinha-other-bollywood-celebs-condemn-police-brutality-over-citizenship-law-268472">Anurag Kashyap, Rajkummar Rao, Taapsee Pannu and others </a>had spoken about the violence on the first day of the student protests while many others including the Khans, Kapoors and Johars and others kept mum on it.&nbsp;Hollywood star John Cusack had also shared <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/solidarity-hollywood-star-john-cusack-tweets-in-support-of-student-protest-movement-268588">videos of the assault.&nbsp;</a>

But after yesterday when&nbsp;Hrithik Roshan <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hrithik-roshan-breaks-mum-on-student-protests-against-caa-salute-worlds-youngest-democracy-268997">spoke against violence </a>and expressed sadness over brutality on students as they protested against CAA, Priyanka Chopra has also opened up on it now. She took to her Twitter stressing on the need for education and condemning violence against the students.

She wrote, "Education for every child is our dream. Education is what empowered them to think independently. We have raised them to have a voice. In a thriving democracy, to raise one’s voice peacefully and be met with violence is wrong. Every voice counts. And each voice will work towards changing India. #HaveVoiceWillRaise #HaveVoiceMustRaise.”

The tweet makes sense even more as Priyanka Chopra, is also a global UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador and works towards the cause of education.&nbsp;

This comes the same day when Kangana Ranaut called out Bollywood celebs for not talking on the CAA. In an interview, she had said, "The actors should be ashamed of themselves. I have no illusions about the fact that Bollywood is full of cowards who are full of themselves. All they do is just look into the mirror 20 times a day and when they’re asked they say we have electricity and we have access to everything, we are privileged, why should we be bothered about the country. Some of them even brag about it, that we are artists, we should not be concerned about the nation, they should be dragged for this and that is why I have come out in the open to question them.”

Meanwhile, Hrithik had tweeted,&nbsp;"As a parent and a citizen of India, I am deeply saddened by the unrest across various educational institutions of our country. I hope and pray for peace to return as soon as possible. Great teachers learn from their students. I salute the words youngest democracy."
