Given the budget of Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, it is important that they get a clean weekend. Sources told Bollywood Hungama that Ali Abbas Zafar made a call to Salman Khan before announcing the release date of his movie. He wanted to be doubly sure before taking the decision. The source said that Salman Khan has immense respect for Akshay Kumar and feels he is a true friend. He said he was happy to know that Ali's movie was coming on Eid, and he was not doing movie for that period right now. The source was quoted as saying, "He wants his two friends, Ali and Akshay, to entertain the audience with their entertainer during Eid 2024."

SALMAN KHAN AND EID GO HAND-IN-HAND
In fact, Salman Khan might even promote the movie. It seems he would be happy to see his friends do well on Eid. In 2022, Ajay Devgn released Runway 34 on Eid. It seems Ajay Devgn also had a word with Salman Khan before he decided on the date. The movie was a critical success but saw moderate numbers at the box office. Way back in 2013, Rohit Shetty did the same for Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's Chennai Express. This year, Salman Khan released Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan on Eid. The movie was an adaptation of Ajith Kumar's Veeram. Also Read - Anushka Sharma imitates Virat Kohli's on-field celebration style; cricketer says 'Badi sharam aati hai...' [Watch Video]
