The Covid-19 lockdown last year was totally devastating for film and entertainment industry. Many films delayed and filming schedules were also halted. After suffering heavy losses, theatre owners were hopeful that movies of huge stars like Salman Khan will bring the audience back in the cinema halls. Salman Khan even assured that his film 'Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai' will release theatrically on Eid but recent surge in the Covid-19 cases in Maharashtra might cause the film to postpone.

Recently Salman opened up about the issue in an conversation with Kabir Bedi. He said, "We are still trying our best to release Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai on Eid. If this lockdown continues, then we might have to push it to next Eid.”

The star went on to explain, "But if cases reduce if people take care of themselves, wear masks, maintain social distance and don’t break these rules put by the government, I think this (the second wave) would die off very soon. And if it does, then we’ll have Radhe – Your Most Wanted Bhai in theatres on Eid."

"However, if the citizens don’t listen and the cases of coronavirus continue to grow, then it’ll pose a problem not only to the theatre owners but also to the daily wage workers. It’ll prove to be bad just like it was (during the last lockdown). So everyone should take (the second wave) very, very seriously and ensure that we kill this coronavirus and that we move on in our lives before it kills us all,” said Salman Khan.
