Bol🌠lywood superstar Salman Khan on Wednesday said he is trying his best to release his upcoming movie, "Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai", as per the schedule but the film might get postponed if the lockdown in Maharashtra continues.
The much-anticipated action film is currently scheduled to have a theat💙rical release on May 13 at the festival of Eid.
During a Facebook Live session, the actor said that the movie will be screened theatrically only w🙈hen the Covid-19 cases come down.
"We are still trying our best to release 'Radheಌ' on Eid. But if the lockdown continu🅺es further, then we might have to push it to next Eid. "
"But if it opens up and if 🤪peop🔴le take care of themselves, wear their masks, maintain social distancing, don't go out and don't break any guidelines which the govt has put on us, this will die out very soon. If it does, we will have 'Radhe' back in theatres this Eid," the 55-year-old actor said.
Khan 🔴was speaking at the cover reveal of actor Kabir Bedi's autobiography "Stories I Must Tell".
Directed by Prabhudheva, "Rad🍸he" will al💟so feature Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff.
The actor said people must ensure that state guidelines and saf൩ety protocols are strictly followed as lockdown would only mean heavy financial losses for theatre owners and daily wage workers.❀
"It's going to be a bad one like it was last year. So, everyone should take this seriously and see that we kill coronavirus and move on in our lives before it kills us all,&quo♓t; Khan added.
The Maharashtra government o🦂n Sunday announced a weekend lockdown in the state from 8 pm on Friday to 7 am on Monday in a bid to c🌼urb the growing numbers of Covid-19 cases in the state.
