ISLAMABAD, April 19, 2023:Unlike other Bollywood stars, Salman Khan doesn’t prefer multiple city promotions for his films. In the past few years his visit to Kolkata was cancelled due to several reasons. Salman hasn’t come to Kolkata in the last 13 years. It’s been a long wait for his fans here in West Bengal.
In 2009, the Bollywood superstar was scheduled to play an exhibition football match at the Mohammedan Sporting ground as part of the promotion of his film ‘Wanted’. However, he was literally mobbed at the ground and had to return to his hotel as the situation went beyond anyone’s control. The exhibition match was also cancelled.
And now, after a long time the celebrated actor is once again coming to Kolkata and it’s no surprise that his fans can’t keep clam ahead of the much-awaited event on May 13.
The show will take place at the East Bengal ground near Maidan area. Several other stars including Sonakshi Sinha, Jacqueline Fernandez, Prabhu Deva, Ayush Sharma, and Guru Randhawa will also accompany him.
For the unversed, Salman gets a Y+ category security right now after the threat letter he and his father Selim Khan received last year in June. The recent threat emails have once again raised questions over his security. So, the three-tier security belt will have an additional special security by the Kolkata Police during Salman’s stay in Kolkata.
Meanwhile, fans are eagerly waiting for his upcoming film ‘Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan’ which will release in theatres on April 21. Directed by Farhad Samji, the film marks the return of Salman to big screen after four years.
