Salman Khan's Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, which was supposed to release last Eid, but got postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, is finally releasing this Eid on 13th May. However, it neither feels like a Salman Khan festive release, plus the scale and hullaballoo that usually accompanies a Bhai film appears to be absent this time, and the reason, once again, is the COVID-19 pandemic, with the second wave causing sickness and death at an exacerbated rate throughout the country. Radhe is set to hit a scant few select theatres that are fortunately still open while simultaneously opting for an OTT release on ZeePlex. However, a well-placed source in Bollywood's trade circles now informs us that the Prabhudheva directorial may yet again be postponed at the nth hour.
Our source reveals that the team of Radhe is well aware of the somber mood in the country right n0w, and how not many may be enthusiastic to watch a Bollywood masala entertainer even at home. This could also be seen in how many rejoined the moment the IPL was postponed. Then there's the anti-Bollywood sentiment that's still being echoed in many corners in the wake of Sushant Singh Rajput's suicide last year.
Furthermore, we're told that many exhibitors, especially single screen owners, who were banking on a family mass entertainer like Radhe to get them out of the doldrums once things returned to normal, are extremely unhappy with Salman Khan's decision. They feel when Rohit Shetty and Reliance Entertainment have held on for so long for Sooryavanshi and '83, then Salman should also have done the same for a big multi-starrer, which also features popular names like Randeep Hooda, Jackie Shroff and Disha Patani.
Taking all these factors into consideration, our source discloses that there's still a possibility of Radhe Your Most Wanted Bhai neither releasing in theatres nor on the OTT space this Eid, and that we shouldn't be surprised if an announcement to the same effect comes even a day or two prior to the intended release.
