Description

Description The extraction process fails for certain filmography URLs. While it works correctly for Aamir Khan's filmography, it does not execute successfully for Salman Khan's filmography

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

  1. Update main module with Salman Khan Filmography URL line number 19. filmography_url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salman_Khan_filmography'
  2. Run Application. python main.py

Expected Behavior: The extraction process should successfully retrieve data for new filmography URLs, such as Salman Khan's.

Actual Behavior The extraction process is failing and returning an error message.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Compare the HTML structure of the two filmography Wikipedia pages to identify differences. Check the parsing logic in the extraction module (likely using BeautifulSoup or similar) to see if it handles variable table formats or missing elements. Add debug prints to trace which part of the extraction fails for Salman Khan.
