Salman Khan-starrer 'Radhe' set for theatrical release this Eid

Notably, film exhibitors and theater owners have been requesting Khan to release the movie in theaters.

He wrote, "Sorry it has taken me a long time to revert to all the theater owners...It's a big decision to make during these times. I understand the financial problems that the theater owners/exhibitors are going through and I'd like to help them by releasing Radhe in theaters."

Khan also urged theater owners and his fans to follow the precautions while watching the movie in theaters, in view of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"The commitment was of EID and it will be Eid 2021 inshallah. Enjoy Radhe this year in theaters on Eid.. God willing (sic)," he concluded.

The movie also stars actors Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff in pivotal roles.

Khan's fans have been waiting for Radhe's release for a long time now.

Directed by Prabhu Deva, it was originally supposed to be released around Eid 2020, but it got delayed due to the pandemic.

Khan had earlier stated, "Radhe will release when it has to. The situation is grave now...when people start going back to theaters and when they have money to spend."

Khan, who was last seen in Dabangg 3 in 2019, is currently shooting for Antim: The Final Truth, also starring his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma.

Apart from this, he will soon start shooting for Tiger 3, along with Katrina Kaif.

The actor also has Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali and a special appearance in Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Pathan in the pipeline.
