Radhe: Salman Khan apologises to cinema owners

Radhe: Salman Khan apologises to cinema owners

By Murtuza Iqbal

Salman Khan starrer Rahde: Your Most Wanted Bhai is all set to release on Eid this year (13th May 2021). A few months ago, theatre owners had requested Salman to release the film in cinemas, and the actor had announced that the film will hit the big screens on Eid.


Now, Radhe will be getting a multi-platform release. It will release in theatres as well as on multiple platforms like Zee5’s ZeePlex, and DTH services. With the current Covid-19 situation in India, most of the states in the country have announced lockdown and theatres are also shut. So, one can surely not expect a great box office collection from the film.

According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, Salman spoke to a few journalists through a Zoom call and opened up about the film’s multi-platform release, box office collection, and more.

While talking about the box office collection, Salman said, “The box office collection of Radhe will be zero. This will be the lowest ever for a Salman Khan film. Let people be happy or sad with that. It is releasing in very few cinemas in India, overseas also the number of theatres are less than usual. So the box office collection will be very poor.”

The actor apologised to theatre owners who were expecting a boost in the business because of Radhe. He said, “I apologise to cinema owners who were hoping to earn profits with the release of this film. We waited as long as we could, hoping that this pandemic would end and we would be able to release in theatres all over the country. But that did not happen. We don’t know when things will go back to normal.”

“I know people are disappointed that they will not be able to watch Radhe on the big screen. Some people have booked auditoriums and are planning to screen my film, which I won’t encourage because I don’t want people to say ‘Salman Khan ki picture dekhne gaye aur corona phail gaya’. Once this pandemic is over and theatres reopen, if people like the film, we will try to release it on the big screen,” he added.

Directed by Prabhudeva, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai also stars Jackie Shroff, Disha Patani and Randeep Hooda.

Beyond the killer: 4 true crime stories that explore perpetrator's families

They don’t wear prison uniforms. They haven’t committed the crime. And yet, they live with the sentence. The whispers, the suspicion, the unbearable question: Did you know? Could you have stopped it?

For decades, true crime has obsessed over killers—their twisted minds, their methods, their victims. But now, a new wave of storytelling is forcing us to look beyond the perpetrators. What about the people they left behind? The mothers who raised them, the children who bear their names, the siblings who once shared bedtime secrets. Netflix’s Adolescence, Paramount+’s Happy Face, and a string of recent documentaries expose the unseen collateral damage of crime: the families of murderers who are left to pick up the pieces.

How UK Casinos Are Innovating Bonus Structures to Attract Players in 2025

2025 marks a transformative year for player incentivization as UK casinos shift their strategy to better fit the modern online gambling era. The operational flexibility that comes with a flourishing economy increases competition within the industry, leading operators to go beyond more traditional bonus mechanics that utilize sophisticated reward systems to incentivize players creatively.

The Evolution of Casino Incentives

UK casinos have greatly adapted to the rise of modern players who demand more than meaningless advertisement offers. Generic free spins packages paired with deposit matching bonuses are from the distant past and vanish behind the more complex bonuses formed by operators. One example that sticks out is the free welcome bonus no deposit required, which has been revived but is much easier to partake in.

Instead of existing as a promotional gimmick, these incentives have transformed into competitions that attract customers to utilize numerous marketing tools, allowing operators to capture the value of modern players. The logic of this shift reflects an understanding within the industry that, unlike other industries, the player's acquisition cost has to always align with their longer-term value.
