If sources in the grapevine are to be believed, Bharat star Salman Khan is now seriously considering postponing his home production Dabangg 3 to Eid 2020. The third entry in his popular franchise is all set for a 10 December, 2019 release as of now.

Since Kick 2 producer-director Sajid Nadiadwala has openly denied reports that his film will be ready for release on Eid next year, choices are slime for Salman to deliver the cinematic Eid treat he recently promised in a tweet.

A source in Salman’s camp had this to say to IANS.

“It is a serious thought, and one which ‘Dabangg 3’ director Prabhudheva has been asked to consider,”

If you’ve been living under a rock, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah, which was supposed to star Salman opposite Alia Bhatt, was originally being lined up for Eid 2020. However, the film was shelved at the last moment, and then Salman sent out a cryptic tweet, saying, “Itna mat sochna mere baare mein, Dil mein aata hoon.. aur Eid pe bhi (Don't worry about me, I reside in your hearts.. and arrive on Eid, too).”

The line was taking off from a dialogue in Salman's 2014 Eid blockbuster, Kick, which went, “Mere baare mein itna mat sochna, dil mein aata hoon, samajh mein nahi (Don't worry about me, I reside in your hearts but you can't figure me out).” This led to speculation that Salman was planning for Kick 2 to release on Eid 2020.

Having committed himself to being in theatres on Eid next year, Salman finds himself in a quandary. After all, Bhai ke izzat ka sawaal hai. After all, it was his prophetic lines in Prabhudheva's Wanted all those years ago, that said, “Ek baar jo maine commitment kar di, toh phir main khudki bhi nahi sunta.”
