At the trailer launch on Tuesday, the actor was asked about his opinion on the recent incidents of child abuse. Salman said people needed to stand up against barbaric incidents like the Kathua and Unnao cases.”I think whatever is happening with children is wrong. I think we should stand up on this and get this stopped,” Salman told the media.

The 52-year-old actor went on to talk about his upcoming venture and said the film offers good music, action, and people will have a good time watching the film. “Like the kind of film used to happen earlier, this film is like that. This film has a vibe that earlier Bachchan Saab, Dharmendraji used to do,” Salman said.

“I heard the script of the film two years ago. After that Ramesh Taurani wanted me to listen to the improved script again. It was a difficult genre for me to do, I wanted a few changes. I knew the genre of the film but I did not know where I will fit in the genre,” he added.
