‘My film with Prabh dheva will be a ‘baap’ of action genre’

The film marks his return with director Prabhdheva after Wanted, which saw him play an undercover cop, and the upcoming Dabangg 3, which sees him return as Inspector Chulbul Pandey. Salman says Raadhe will be a ‘baapa’ in the cop-action drama genre.

“Radhe was my character’s name in Tere Naam (2003) and again, we used the same name for my character in Wanted (2009). But this (Radhe) is a completely different film. It has nothing to do with Wanted. If you want to go into that format or genre, then this project will be a baap of Wanted,” said Salman, about his upcoming film, while interacting with the media at the trailer launch of his next release, Dabangg 3.

Salman attended the event with Dabangg 3 co-actors Sonakshi Sinha, Saiee Manjrekar, the film’s director Prabhudheva, and producers Arbaaz Khan, Bhushan Kumar and Nikhil Dwivedi on Wednesday in Mumbai.

Radhe is scheduled to hit the screens on Eid next year. A few days back, Salman Khan took to social media to announce the release date of the film. Sharing the motion poster, he wrote: “Aap he ne poocha tha Dabangg 3 ke baad kya? What and when? Yeh lo answer #EidRadheKi.”

On why he announced Radhe with the poster of Dabangg 3, he said, “If we had announced ‘Radhe’ on its own, then ‘Dabangg 3’ would have taken a backseat, and people would have started talking only about ‘Radhe’. That’s why, we decided to do it in this particular manner.”
