The third installment in the franchise, it also stars Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Daisy Shah, Saqib Saleem and Bobby Deol, and is slated to release on June 15. The film reportedly has Rs 125-150 crore riding on it, and with a release due in 2 months, the makers have a lot to worry about.



'Bharat'
After the success of 'Sultan' and 'Tiger Zinda Hai', Salman Khan and Ali Abbas Zafar are returning with their third collaboration, 'Bharat'. A remake of the Korean film, 'Ode to my Father', the movie is likely to be produced by Khan's brother-in-law Atul Agnihotri. The shooting for 'Bharat' is scheduled to begin in June and will take place in Abu Dhabi, Spain, Punjab and Delhi.

The film is slated to release on Eid 2019.


'Dabangg 3'
The Khan brothers, Salman and Arbaaz, are returning with the third installment of their hit formula. While there has been much talk about the film's release clashing with Ranveer Singh's 'Simbaa', recent reports suggest that the release of the film has been pushed to Republic Day 2019.

Khan is also all set to launch his brother-in-law, Arpita's husband, Aayush Sharma in 'Loveratri' in September 2018.
