Salman Khan likely to produce Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali as Sajid Nadiadwala steps back?

Superstar Salman Khan is all set to begin shooting for Farhad Samji ’s directorial Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. Apart from headlining the film, the actor is also reported to independently handle the production of the film under his banner SKF Films.

As per reports from ETimes, the film was supposed to be backed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala alone under his production banner Nadiadwala Grandsons. But now, the reports suggest that the production operations are likely to be handled by Salman’s production house.

Further going by the report, it has been learned that the Dabangg actor wanted to start the film soon but Sajid wanted to work a little more on the script. Hence, the two who are best friends, mutually decided that it would be better if Salman can go ahead. It is also being reported that Salman will most likely include Sajid's name in the credits as a joint producer.

However, the makers have reportedly not yet made up their minds, and Sajid might yet go back to take the solo seat as originally planned. But as the things stand today, the film will most likely be handled by Salman’s company at the production level.

Also, Salman will soon begin filming on the set constructed at Panvel. Earlier, it was reported that a township is being built on the helipad area for an action sequence. Salman may begin his shooting with the entrance scene in a helicopter. The shooting is reported to start on May 9.

Meanwhile, The Farhad Samji directorial will have Pooja Hegde as the female lead who for the first time will be sharing the screen space with Salman. The film also stars Zaheer Iqbal, who made his debut with the 2019 film Notebook. Also, Telugu actor Venkatesh will also appear as Salman’s brother in the film.
