For those who are unaware, the action comedy will be released on April 21 during Eid. The trade and Salman Khan's fans are looking for a box office smash, and filmmaker Farhad Samji is fully aware of this. In an interview with a news source, the Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan director stated that the difficulty was to mount a film that did justice to Salman's celebrity while also maintaining faithful to the storyline.

The director said, "Salman Khan's stardom is so huge that it does play on your mind. His followers are likewise like bouncing balls. Because the pressure is on, you must leave no stone untouched and play all of your cards correctly. When directing Salman, keep in mind that the chair you're sitting in should not be the director's chair, but rather the seat of a cinema. What do I want as an audience member if I sit in that chair in a theatre? If Salman sir is about to deliver a dialogue, I need a buildup, which requires a high-speed shot and a back shot. This cognitive process is important, especially when you shoot an action sequence.”

He further added, "Salman is a megastar, but he's also playing a character in the script. We can't always aim to give simply fan service or the tale would fall flat. There has to be a balance where we handle stardom while remaining genuine to the character. When you see the movie, you'll understand why Salman has three different looks in it: long hair, beard, and clean shaven. There is a valid reason for this. It's not a gimmick; it's a requirement of the tale." Farhad Samji explained.”
