Salman Khan has some interesting films lined up in his kitty. Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is one of them.
While Pooja Hegde is the female lead, the movie also stars Aayush Sharma & Zaheer Iqbal in key roles.
After the blockbuster flick Kick, 7 years later, Salman Khan & Sajid Nadiadwala are reuniting in this Farhad Samji directorial titled Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. But now we hear that the movie might undergo a title change.
According to the latest Bollywood Hungama report, Salman, Sajid, and Farhad are in discussions to change the movie title in order to avoid controversies during its release. According to their sources, “They are contemplating on several titles and a new one will be locked very soon.”
“The real reason to change the title is to avoid any sort of controversy around the film’s release. Both Salman and Sajid respect all religions, however, didn’t want anyone to misconstrue their title ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’ as something that makes fun of two festivals. Hence, the hunt is now on for a fresh title,” a source revealed to the portal.
Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali tells the story of a family that believes in the oneness of God. It is said that the source for the plot is apparently Salman Khan’s own family.
“His father is Muslim. His mother is Hindu. Helen Aunty is a Catholic. Salman’s family is a living example of communal amity. The film’s plot will be similar. It will portray the ups and downs in a family which celebrates both Eid and Diwali with equal fervour. It will be Salman’s homage to the enduring spirit of oneness and brotherhood, a counterpoint to the currently vitiated atmosphere in the country. ‘Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali’ will take the cinematic experience back to the days of films like Yash Chopra’s Dharmputra and Dhool Ka Phool. It addresses the issue of Hindu-Muslim amity,” the source concluded.
The movie will reportedly go on floors around September this year, once Salman Khan is done with Tiger 3, co-starring Katrina Kaif and Emraan Hashmi.
