Kabir Khan, the celebrated director behind the blockbuster ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, recently hinted at the possibility of re-releasing the beloved film in theaters.
As the film approaches its 10th anniversary next year, fans might have the chance to relive its emotional journey on the big screen once again.
He shared, “If the audience reaches out and asks for a re-release, we might just do it. After all, it will be 10 years next year.”
Kabir Khan also reflected on his long-standing working relationship with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, with whom he has collaborated on multiple projects, including ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’.
When asked about his fondest memory with Salman, Kabir was quick to point out that choosing just one moment would be impossible. “I’ve done three films with Salman, so to pick out one moment is extremely difficult. There have been so many moments. It’s been a lovely journey with Salman, from the ‘Tiger’ series to ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’,” he remarked.
