2023 has a lineup of very promising Bollywood movies releasing, one of which is Salman Khan and Pooja Hegde’s ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’..
Salman Khan went missing from the big screen all of last year, single-mindedly focusing on his next, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. It is known that the actor-producer is sparing no expense to ensure that his Eid release matches the expectations of his fans. So much so that he even re-shot a song in entirety to make it visually grand.
The
superstar wrapped up the shoot of the film—also featuring south star Venkatesh, Pooja Hegde , Shehnaaz Gill, Raghav Juyal and Siddhart Nigam—on February 8. Since then, Khan has been relentlessly working on the
first cut. A source reveals, “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan is Salman’s passion
project. With the movie slated to hit the marquee on Eid (April 21)
It is an open secret in the film industry. Salman Khan has been ghost-directing most of his recent films. This is one of the reasons why Prabhudheva refused to do any more films in the Dabangg series.
Not one shot in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan has gone without Salman’s approval. He is now re-editing the film to make the narration tighter and to bring down the film’s playing time. According to a source Salman Khan edited the first cut of the movie at his brother Sohail Khan’s studio in Bandra.
He
has a certain vision for the action drama, and wants it to translate well on
the screen. He took a break from his editing duties this week as he was
exhausted after attending and performing at some weddings.”
Since the film is his passion project and now is really close to its release, the actor did editing at a breakneck speed. The project has been making noise right from the word go, and now reports suggest that Salman himself has edited the film's first cut, which he screened for his family members and close friends, who liked the movie. They found it a perfect family entertainer, and at the same time did suggest certain changes. These changes have been forwarded to Bunty Negi who will now take up the editing.
A friend of the actor informs, adding,
“It won’t be wrong to say that Salman has virtually directed the entire film.
Those close to him have advised him to take credit as co-director. To be honest
that is the least Salman can do considering his contribution.” Farhad Samji who
is the official director of Salman Khan’s Eid release may have to share
directorial credits.
Samji’s
directorial offering is a remake of the Tamil movie, Veeram (2014), which
revolved around a man whose four younger brothers want him to get married so
that they can settle down, too. After the first cut was ready, the superstar
showed it to his family and staff at his Panvel farmhouse. The response was
positive from all quarters, adds the source. “Everyone loved the
movie and found it a complete family entertainer. Some of them suggested
certain changes, which Salman has passed on to Bunty Negi. Now, as
Bunty is set to begin work on the editing, he will incorporate the changes
suggested by the superstar.”
