Despite Salman Khan’s upcoming film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai releasing in theatres on May 13, the superstar apologised in advance for the dismal box office figures of the movie due to the most theatres being shut becaCOVID-19 situation in the country.

Talking about the box office collection in a media interation, Salman said that due to the pandemic audience wouldn’t be able to go to theatres to watch the movie. “The box office collection of Radhe will be zero, this will be the lowest ever for a Salman Khan film. Let people be happy or sad with that. It is releasing in very few cinemas in India. Overseas also, the number of theatres is fewer than usual. So, the box office collection will be very poor,” he said.

Salman also talked about his “commitments” his to fans. “I couldn’t have kept my Eid commitment with fans without the support of Zee. It was important to release the film at a time like this because people are suffering due to the pandemic. Incomes have reduced for many. So now, instead of spending a lot of money on tickets at the cinemas, people can watch it at a much cheaper rate at home. I want to provide some entertainment to people during these grim times,” he said.

The film is set to release simultaneously in OTT, DTH and a few theatres that are currently open on May 13. The Prabhu Deva directorial also stars Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda, Jackie Shroff and Megha Akash in pivotal roles.
