New Delhi: Bollywood superstar Salman Khan might not give Eid gift to his fans this year as the release of his highly anticipated film 'Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai', is most likely to be delayed due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The film was scheduled to hit the screens on May 22 on the occasion of Eid. However, due to the shutdown on all television and film production work due to the outbreak, the last leg of filming is yet to be complete. "Radhe will be pushed ahead for sure. We have got two songs to shoot, there is some patch work left of about five days or so, we also have editing that is left. We don't know when the situation will be normal and when we can shoot and finish our pending work," a source close to the production told PTI. The insider further said as people might be sceptical about watching a movie in a theatre due to the COVID-19 scare, it would be unfair to release a film in such times. "The fear of not venturing out of homes and going to theatres to enjoy a film is a lot more and we all will have to deal with it and overcome it," the source added. 'Radhe' is directed by Prabhudheva also features Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff in key roles. Disha Patani plays Salman’s lady love in the film. This will be for the first time in over a decade that ardent Salman fans will not see a release on Eid, a festival date which has been synonymous with the actor. Most of Salman's Eid releases have turned out to be blockbusters such as Wanted (2009), Dabangg (2010), Bodyguard (2011), Ek Tha Tiger (2012), Kick (2014), Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015), Sultan (2016) and Bharat (2019), barring Tubelight (2017) and Race 3 (2018).
