The film’s release is just two days away on Eid and the producers of Salman Khan’s Bharat are a jittery lot. Incidentally, his Tubelight released for 2017 and Race 3 that released for 2018, did not do well at the box-office.
Talk from tinsel ville is that after a screening for his dad Salim Khan, the father is said to have suggested a few cuts here and there. His director Ali Abbas Zafar cannot make any suggestions to the star.
While the bookings are huge, there are concerns that Salman talking on and on about desh and desh prem might not go well with audiences, says a source. To cut down damage, all pre-release and press shows have been cancelled.
On the other hand, Akshay Kumar’s fans had their share of jitters, when it was said that he was playing a 25-minute role. But the superstar was quick to refute the news as he announces the news himself like in case of Naam Shabaana. The film had Tapsee in the lead and Akshay had an extended role in the film.
But Mission Mangal has several ladies like Vidya Balan, Tapsee Pannu, Sonakshi Sinha, Kriti Kulhari who play real-life characters from the biggest space mission of India. But definitely, Akshay is the hero in Jagan Shakti film.
