When movie theatres around the country were facing heavy losses due to the pandemic, the owners urged Salman Khan to opt for a theatrical release for his film 'Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai'. Salman agreed to this and promised a theatrical release of the film. Now that second wave of Covid-19 has made things worse, Salman has apologized to theatre owners since the business is going to very low.

'Radhe' is going to release on Eid. The mode of release will be theatrical as well as on OTT platform and Zee's pay per view service.

In an online press conference, Salmna Khan said, "I couldn’t have kept my Eid commitment with fans without the support of ZEE. It was important to release the film at a time like this because people are suffering due to the pandemic. Incomes have reduced for many, so now, instead of spending a lot of money on tickets at the cinemas, people can watch it at a much cheaper rate at home. I want to provide some entertainment to people at a grim time like this."

About his commitment to the theatre owners, the superstar said, “I apologise to cinema owners who were hoping to earn profits with the release of this film. We waited as long as we could, hoping that this pandemic would end and we would be able to release in theatres all over the country. But that did not happen. We don’t know when things will go back to normal."
