Maybe this is the first time in the nepotism loving Bollywood, that a major star is launching his sister's husband in a movie as the lead. But then that's Salman Khan for you. Under his banner Being Human productions, Salman is launching his brother-in-law and younger sister Arpita's husband, Aayush Sharma, in a romantic movie, Loveratri. As the name suggests, it's a love story set against the backdrop of the festival of Navaratri.
Apart from Aayush, Salman Khan will also be launching a newbie opposite him in the movie in the form of Warina Hussain, who was recently seen in the Cadbury Silk ad. The movie will be directed by Abhiraj Minawala.
In an interesting manner, Salman Khan announced the release date of the movie on Twitter in the form of a riddle. Look at his tweet below,
#Loveratri releasing 224 days from today... batao kya date hai release ki .

Earlier the movie was supposed to come out on September 21, but for unknown reasons, has been pushed two weeks ahead.
The romantic drama will have Aayush playing a Gujarati boy and Warina will essay the role of a ballet dancer.
A source earlier revealed to a leading daily, "Warina plays a ballet dancer in the film and Aayush essays the role of a Gujarati boy. The duo meet during Navratri and the love story follows." Clearly, we can expect some amazing tracks and dance numbers, showcasing a blend of ballet and dandiya in the movie.
Earlier in an interview, Salman Khan's brother- in law, Aayush, was quoted saying, "I would definitely like to pursue a career in Bollywood but on my own terms. It’s a misconception that he (Salman) is launching me. Also, age is on my side and, God willing, I’d like to explore all opportunities given to me. For now, I’m training to become an actor.”
