Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala‘s upcoming movie Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is one of the most awaited releases of Bollywood.
However, unfortunately, Sajid Nadiadwala has backed off from the production of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.
After Sajid Nadiadwala took a step back from the production of this social comedy, the project was taken over by Salman Khan’s production house Salman Khan Films.
As per Bollywood Hungama, “Following the failure of commercial films like Baaghi 3, Tadap, and more importantly Bachchhan Paandey, Sajid Nadiadwala felt that there was a need to rethink the prospects of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. He wanted to rework the budget, and script and even rethink the entire setup of the film, including the casting of key characters. Salman on the other hand believed in the script and wanted to take it to the floors as soon as possible. He felt there was no connection between the failure of Sajid’s recent films and Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. Salman had kept his date diaries open for this venture.”
“Salman felt that Sajid had developed cold feet and was not putting enough faith in the project and his stardom whereas Sajid felt that Salman was taking things too lightly and they could reunite on a better subject later. There were also some concerns with regard to the project viability and the revenue model. After a prolonged discussion, Sajid decided to take a step back from the project and let Salman take control,” the source added.
Salman Khan took the film under his own banner. “Salman got Sajid to transfer the title and even acquired the script from Sajid. He is now producing the film under SKF. Sajid had started working on a set at Filmcity in Mumbai and the same is now in the process of being dismantled. Salman on the other hand has asked his team to start pre-production for Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali in the outskirts of Mumbai.”
The movie is expected to release in December.
