Locked and Loaded; Salman Khan’s Team Throws Fresh Update on Eid 2020 Release

Salman Khan’s fans have been waiting with bated breath for him to announce his Eid 2020 release. Salman had Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah as Eid release but the film has been shelved for now. He had tweeted, "The film with Sanjay Leela Bhansali is pushed but I will still see you all on Eid, 2020. Insha-Allah!!" Salman also wrote, "Itna mat sochna mere baare mein, Dil mein aata hoon.. aur Eid pe bhi.'' 

However, speculations popped about which project will fill in the void. And according to rumours, it will be him donning a cop avatar once again for a movie titled Radhe: India’s most Wanted Cop. 

While it was earlier reported Sohail Khan is getting the aforementioned title registered, and that the movie that is will be a remake of the 2017 Korean action-thriller, The Outlaws will go on the floors on November

As per reports in Bollywood Hungama, the makers want Priyanka Chopra Jonas for the film, but Salman was adamant on Katrina. A source told the entertainment portal, "Bhai plays a cop again in the Eid 2020 release. This would be two back-to-back releases Dabangg 3 followed by the Eid release, where Salman plays a cop. To avoid a sense of sameness his team members suggested Priyanka Chopra since she has no films on hand after The Sky Is Pink releases in October."  

Now, cinematographer Ayananka Bose, who has worked with Salman Khan before, has let out a post on an Instagram story that is well-guarded clue about his next project for Eid. The pictures looked like the schedule of the movie with dates and scenes to be shot on those days and in many accounts had the word ‘Radhe’ in it. Even the caption of the post read ‘Locked n loaded!! Any guesses which film?? Hint: Eid!’  

For the uninitiated, Ayananka has worked with Salman’s two Eid release previously, Kick (2014) and Race 3 (2018).
