Everybody needs support, including me.)” He then gave shoutout to Mohanlal and Prithviraj Sukumaran’s L2: Empuraan and Sunny Deol’s Jaat.

Addressing this, Salman told ANI, “Arey nahin chahiye bhai humko koi controversy. Bohot saare controversies se guzar chuke hain hum. Humko nahin chahiye koi controversy.” He added, “And I don’t think controversies make a film a hit. We’ve seen, in fact, that sometimes a film’s release is delayed due to controversies, for example, from Friday to the next Tuesday.”

The movie also stars Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar in the lead roles. Directed by AR Murugadoss, the movie is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

On the work front, Salman Khan has revealed that he will next team up with Sanjay Dutt for an action film.
