The highly anticipated trailer for Salman Khan's upcoming film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai finally dropped. The Prabhu Deva directorial is a action-entertainer with Salman Khan in the lead as an 'encounter specialist'- a trope that is quiet common in crime action films.
That isn't the only sense of familiarity in the trailer. The action packed sequences almost mirror what audiences have come to expect from Salman Khan. Judging from the trailer, Radhe takes the audience back to the actor's previous films like Wanted and Dabangg with dialogues from the latter appearing too.
As the 'encounter specialist', Salman aims to 'clean the city' of violence and crime, and spouts dialogues like 'Tumhaare daswi pass hone se pehle, ya toh woh jail ke andhar honge, ya zameen ke andhar' (Before you pass tenth, they'll either be in jail or in the ground).
He is supposed to handle the drug menace in the city, courtesy of villain Randeep Hooda, who engages in signature fight sequences with the hero. The film also features Disha Patani, Jackie Shroff and Megha Akash in pivotal roles.
Radhe marks Salman's return to the screen after his 2019 releases Dabangg 3 and Bharat. He's also shot for his film Antim: The Final Truth, directed by Mahesh Manjrekar, wherein Salman also appears as a cop fighting the land mafia. He was also set to start working on Tiger 3, directed by Maneesh Sharma, co-starring Katrina Kaif.
After being delayed for over a year because of the pandemic, Radhe is scheduled for a multi-platform release on 13 May.
