Salman Khan announced on Saturday that Olympic medalist boxer Vijender Singh will be a part of his upcoming film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.

The superstar took to Twitter on Saturday and posted a on-set photo wishing the boxer on his birthday and making the announcement. “Happy bday hamare boxer Bhai @boxervijender… welcome on board Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan…” The photograph showed Salman and Vijender with other cast members— Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam and Jassie Gill.

The details on Vijender’s role aren’t out yet. The film is directed by Farhad Samji known for Housefull 4 and Bachchhan Paandey.

Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan also features Pooja Hegde, Venkatesh Daggubati and Shehnaaz Gill.

The film was expected to release in end-December this year but will now arrive on April 21 in 2023 coinciding with Eid. Thus, it will avoid a Christmas time clash with Rohit Shetty's Ranveer Singh-starrer Cirkus (releasing on December 23). 

Salman’s last big screen release was Antim: The Final Truth, in which he featured alongside brother-in-law Aayush Sharma. His upcoming projects include Tiger 3, co-starring Katrina Kaif. He will also make a cameo appearance in Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.
