It has been almost a year since the Coronavirus pandemic struck the world. The exhibition and theatrical business went for a toss since most of the films opted for a direct-OTT release. A few films like Suraj Pe Mangal Bhari. Indoo Ki Jawani, and Master opened in the cinema halls and this particular biggie opened to smashing box-office numbers.
Fans of the Bollywood stars now await the releases of their films like Sooryavanshi, â83, and Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai. For the uninitiated, the theatre owners had written a plea to Salman Khan and requested him to release this juggernaut in the cinema halls and the actor has now replied to the same. In an Instagram post, he had something to say.
He said, "Sorry it has taken me a long time to revert to all the theatre owners... It's a big decision to make during these times. I understand the financial problems that the theatre owners/exhibitors are going through and I would like to help them by releasing Radhe in theatres. In return, I would expect them to take utmost amount of care and precautions for the audience who would come to the theatre to watch Radhe. The commitment was of EID and it will be Eid 2021 inshallah. Enjoy Radhe this year in theatres on Eid.. God willing.." [SIC]

The Superstar is currently in a bio bubble for two units - Antim and Bigg Boss 14, which means he's not interacting or coming in contact with anyone else outside of these two units. This concept of working reduces the number of people a person comes in contact with.
This is being done, in order to keep the safety of both the set members in mind. Utmost precautions are being taken by the superstar with regards to this.
Controlled bio bubble environments are the newer ways adopted by most film sets to ensure smooth functioning of the film set and minimising the risks of the Covid 19 virus for all those part of it. People are still maintaining social distance, wearing masks whenever possible, sanitising at regular intervals and taking the utmost care.
Antim-The Final Truth is an action-drama directed by Mahesh Manjrekar which will star Salman Khan and Aayush Sharma in a leading role. The first look of the film was revealed in December last year and received much appreciation.
