Salman Khan's Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai to Skip Diwali Release and Instead Hit the Theatres in 2021?

Salman Khan's Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai's fate to hit the theatres in 2020 looks a bit dicey. Why do we say this? As per a report in Mid-day, the film which was supposed to release on the silverscreens in Diwali this year might be getting delayed further. The coronavirus pandemic has created a scare among one and all. And after the World Health Organisation's (WHO)w latest statement about the disease being airborne in closed and crowded places, the makers of the action flick are not keen on risking the lives of their cast and crew and so might push the film on a later date. Salman Khan To Book An Entire Floor Of Mehboob Studios To Complete Radhe Shoot In August (Deets Inside). 

A close source from the production team has spilt the beans that Salman was about to visit his Bandra residence this week to plan about the August shoot, but mostly that's not happening.

"However, on Sunday, Salman called off the impending schedule after discussing with his team and co-producers Atul Agnihotri, Sohail Khan and Nikhil Namit. He felt that filming indoors could pose a risk to the health of the cast and crew. On the other hand, an outdoor shoot was not feasible in the monsoon. So, he has decided to hold off the stint till October-end, post which the unit will film the remaining portions — including a song — at outdoor locations," the source told the portal.

Now, if the shoots don't get completed in August, then automatically the release date will be pushed for next year. And as the reports, the makers of Radhe are eyeing for a festive 2021 date. "Salman's first priority is the safety of his team members. The makers are now eyeing a 2021 festival release; by then, the theatres will have also reopened," the source added.

Also, Radhe's initial release date was Eid 2020, but due to the coronavirus, it could not make it to the theatres. Then reports were that it's going to make it on Diwali and now it's 2021 festive day. Stay tuned!
