Salman Khan hopes 'Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan' pays off

Finally, the wait is over for Salman Khan's fans as the makers of his much-awaited movie, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan finally dropped the trailer of upcoming action entertainer.

At the film's trailer launch in Mumbai on Monday, the cast arrived in style.

Salman Khan was dapper in a full-sleeved black shirt with black jeans, shoes, and sunglasses.

The 58-year-old actor said the movie is a complete package with elements like action, romance, and family drama at its core.

“I just hope it pays off, that’s it. People just appreciate the fim, like the film, and go and see it. It is a typical Hindustani film. It has action, and you put Sooraj Barjataya type of film (family drama) and the romance that Sanjay Leela Bhansali films have (sic). It is today’s film."

Pooja Hegde, the leading lady of the movie, wore a yellow flared gown and kept her hair open with minimal make-up.

Pooja shared her excitement for the release and talked about her special connection with her character. She said, "Working on Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was an absolute blast. My character is very special to me, as she's super fun and full of life, and I hope people will enjoy my performance in the film. I can't wait for my fans, friends, and family to watch the trailer and get a glimpse of the excitement and emotions we've poured into this film. What you have seen in the trailer, is just a fun glimpse of the entire film."

Bollywood debutant, Shehnaaz Gill turned up looking like a boss lady in a black blazer, crop top, and leather skirt with pencil heels.

Palak Tiwari, another debutant in line, looked gorgeous in a pink outfit.

Jagapathi Babu, who plays one of the antagonists, sported a white shirt with a blue jacket. He completed his look with white shoes and brown glasses.

Star Indian boxer Vijender Singh plays one of the antagonists in the movie, and Salman said he had to remind the sports star to not hit him hard during the action sequences.

“In the last shot he learnt that he had to hit it slow,” he quipped.

The film, scheduled to be released on Eid 2023, also features veteran Telugu star Venkatesh in a pivotal role. Zee Studios will be releasing the movie worldwide.

Salman, who was last seen in a cameo appearance as the spy Tiger in superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster Pathaan, said after the pandemic-induced break he is excited to have back-to-back releases.

After Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan, the actor will next be seen in Yash Raj Films' Tiger 3, slated to hit theatres in December. The film is part of YRF’s spy universe and will also feature a cameo by Shah Rukh’s Pathaan.

“We released Radhe on Eid on OTT, then Antim came. In the next six months I have another release (Tiger 3), and then one more after six months. It was a long break of four years,” the actor said.
