Salman had announced the film in January 2020, and it was scheduled for Eid 2021 release. However, the film has been delayed owing to the Covid – 19 pandemic. In ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’, Salman will be presented in a completely new avatar. The look is currently being decided upon. It also stars Pooja Hegde. She is playing a traditional small-town girl opposite Salman’s character.
The film is being co-produced by Salman Khan, Sohail Khan, and Atul Agnihotri under the banners Salman Khan Films, Sohail Khan Productions and Reel Life Production. Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is a film with a very different approach, and we are sure the audience will love to see Salman in the avatar we have planned.
