To note, the upcoming film Bhaijaan was earlier titled Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. The reason behind changing the title was the fact that Bhaijaan is the affectionate name fans use for Salman. Moreover, Bhaijaan was the title Salman wanted for this particular project which is touted to be a family saga of patriarchal family where the eldest son lords over the rest of the family.
Ever since the film was announced, there have been numerous changes made to the film. Earlier, Sajid Nadiadwala opted out of the project and Salman took over the production reins. Then Aayush Sharma who was earlier part of the cast opted out. Despite these changes, Salman is going ahead with the film which is scheduled to release in 2023.
