Superstar Salman Khan<\/a> and Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap<\/a> may have shared a bitter public fallout over the years, with the filmmaker repeatedly levelling allegations against the actor. But putting old tensions aside, Salman has now extended support to Abhinav\u2019s brother, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap<\/a>, for his upcoming film Bandar, which stars Bobby Deol<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While juggling the shoot of his next untitled film with Nayanthara <\/a>in Mumbai, Salman recently took time out to cheer for Bobby and Sanya\u2019s upcoming film Bandar. The actor shared the film\u2019s teaser on social media shortly after it was unveiled on May 7.<\/p>\n

Salman posted the teaser on his Instagram handle and wrote, \u201cBandar Teaser out now! The movie starring Bobby releases on June 5!”<\/p>\n

Salman also shared the teaser on his Instagram stories and wrote, “B for Bobby deol A for aag N nahi jaoge toh pachtaoge D for deol ABB sunny deol A for abhi kya? Aamir khan? R for Race so Race to the cinema to see it Akele mat jaana doston ke saath jao aur haan Bandar karega ab sab ko Cinema ke andar.”<\/p>\n

It translates to, \u201cB for Bobby Deol, A for fire, N for \u2018if you don\u2019t go, you\u2019ll regret it,\u2019 D for Deol now Sunny Deol. A for what now? Aamir Khan? R for Race, so race to the cinema to watch it. Don\u2019t go alone, go with your friends. And yes, now Bandar will bring everyone inside the theatres.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interestingly, Bandar is directed by Anurag Kashyap, making Salman Khan\u2019s public show of support even more noteworthy. The gesture has sparked chatter online, especially in light of the actor\u2019s long-standing fallout with Anurag\u2019s brother, Abhinav Kashyap, who had earlier levelled several allegations against Salman and his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cSalman sir always for everyone\u2026 Love u bhaijaan,\u201d one social media user shared, with another writing, \u201cYou know the movie\u2019s going to be a banger when Bhai talks about it.\u201d One social media user wrote, \u201cSalman sharing an AK film teaser\u201d, and another commented, \u201cSalmanKhan is there celebrating everyone but who is there for him?\u201d<\/p>\n

For the unversed, Abhinav has been making several claims and accusations against Salman for quite some time. He claimed that the actor took undue credit for Dabangg and hinted that Salman was involved in manipulation. Abhinav recently appeared on a podcast where he revisited an old incident from the set of Tere Naam, claiming that Salman made things so difficult for his brother Anurag Kashyap that he had to walk away from the project.<\/p>\n

Salman addressed the allegations made by Abhinav in the Weekend Ka Vaar episode of Bigg Boss 19. The actor shared, \u201cMujhe baat buri sirf ek hee cheez lag rahi hai ki apne apne aap ko destroy kar diya. Agar kisike parivar ke peeche padhna hai toh khudke parivar ke peeche padho. Apne bhai ke peeche padho, usse pyar karlo, Maa Pita se pyar karlo, biwi bachho ka khayal rakh lo. Yeh toh least hai (The one thing that hurts me the most is that you are destroying yourself. If you want to get after someone, please go after your family or your brother (Anurag Kashyap). Or, love your brother, your parents, your wife. That\u2019s the least you can do).\u201d<\/p>\n

What do we know about Bandar<\/strong><\/p>\n

On May 7, the makers of Bandar unveiled the much-awaited teaser of the film, leaving audiences excited. The teaser offers a glimpse into the life of Sameer Mehra, a fading star who gets caught in a major scandal while his sister fights to save him.<\/p>\n

The teaser shows Bobby making a stylish entry as a rockstar at a party, dressed in a dazzling jacket and holding a guitar. However, his carefree life takes a dramatic turn when Sameer is arrested for alleged sexual assault. The teaser also introduced Sanya Malhotra as Bobby\u2019s sister, who attempts to save him with the help of a lawyer.<\/p>\n

In an interview with Sudhir Srinivasan on his YouTube channel, Anurag praised Bobby Deol for agreeing to do the film. He said, \u201cA complete surrender for somebody who\u2019s been a star for the longest period of his time, then he has seen a total lull, and then when he\u2019s getting all kinds of big mainstream movies, he picks Bandar and says, \u2018I want to do it.\u2019 Because he\u2019s thinking, \u2018I\u2019ve never been asked to just be vulnerable.\u2019 He\u2019s so vulnerable in the film, so emotionally naked. Every single scene he has performed is with such fantastic actors. Bandar is full of theatre actors, great actors from all languages, five National Award winners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Directed by Anurag Kashyap, produced by Saffron Entertainment and presented by Zee Studios, Bandar is written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee. The film features an ensemble cast including Sapna Pabbi, Saba Azad, Indrajith Sukumaran, Jitendra Joshi, Raj B Shetty and Nagesh Bhonsle. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival last year and is scheduled to be released in theatres on June 5. The film is written by Sudip Sharma and Abhishek Banerjee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Superstar Salman Khan and Dabangg director Abhinav Kashyap may have shared a bitter public fallout over the years,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":476243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[263],"tags":[15821,15824,17499,15822,18,117,19,17,327,3325,208622],"class_list":{"0":"post-476242","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-anurag-kashyap","9":"tag-bandar","10":"tag-bigg-boss-19","11":"tag-bobby-deol","12":"tag-eire","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-ie","15":"tag-ireland","16":"tag-movies","17":"tag-salman-khan","18":"tag-salman-khan-bobby-deol"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=476242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/476242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/476243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=476242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=476242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=476242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
