“But then age gap… ye baaten karke toh Apne inka beda hi gark kar diya. (I am concerned about the age gap as the audience talks about it). Ab agar mujhe Ananya Panday ya Janhvi ke saath kaam karna pada toh mujhe 10 baar sochna padega. (I will have to think ten times before working with Ananya Panday or Janhvi Kapoor). Aur das baar sockar bhi main unke saath kaam karunga. (I will work with them, even after thinking ten times).” He added.

Notably, Salman Khan has several exciting films lined up for release. His action-thriller Sikandar, directed by A. R. Murugadoss, is set to hit theaters in March. In this movie, Salman plays a dual role alongside Rashmika Mandanna and Kajal Aggarwal.

Following that, he will reprise his role in the highly anticipated sequel Kick 2, which will be released on April 20, 2025. Salman will also be returning to comedy with No Entry 2, a sequel to the 2005 hit, which is scheduled for release later in 2025.
