Salman Khan’s  Film Is Now Called Bhaijaan

Salman Khan’s  secular-sounding Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali which started shooting on his farm on the outskirts of Mumbai last month, has seen many upheavals  and  changes  since its announcement .

The  latest on that (unsettled)  front is  the  film’s title. The original title Kabhi Eid Kabhi Eid has been changed to a  shorter  Bhaijaan.

For those who came  in  late, Bhaijaan is  the affectionate  name  fans  use for Salman.  In fact, Bhaijaan  was the title Salman  wanted for  this particular  project, a  family saga  of  patriarchal  family where  the eldest son lords over  the rest  of the family.

Apparently, not a leaf stirs in the family without the patriarch’s  permission. Salman’s role  in the film is  similar  to  the  one he plays in  real life in  his own  family. Salman  Khan, in all his wisdom, has decided to eponymously name the  film after his own character.

But no, before excited fans ask, Bhaijaan is  not a sequel  to Mr Khan’s 2018 blockbuster  Bajrangi Bhaijaan. It’s more  in the nature of a titular franchise,  like Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi series. So  after Bajrangi Bhaijaan  and  Bhaijaan,could we expect  Salman’s   Bhaijaan Returns, Kya Baat Bhaijaan  and Wah  Bhaijaan?
