The Dabangg actor claimed that it was not an appropriate name for the Indian film industry, NDTV reports.
"One of the first film productions was called Bombay Talkies, so call it that or Mumbai Talkies or Indian cinema. Call it anything but not Bollywood," said Khan.
"Bollywood was for when Mumbai was called Bombay... Hate this bloody name," announced the star.
The actor found support from actor Riteish Deshmukh over possible new names for the industry.
"I totally love the term HI-FI for Hindi film industry, instead of Bollywood," posted Deshmukh on his Twitter account.
