Salman Khan Eid films before Race 3
Bollywood actor Salman Khan and Eid surely go hand-in-hand. The Bhaijaan of Bollywood likes to release his film during the festive season as it guarantees a bumper opening at the box office. Salman Khan’s latest Eid offering Race 3 is all set to hit the cinemas on June 15 and, the multi-starrer film has already been causing much buzz all around. Right from amazing action sequences to starry glamour, the Salman Khan film has lots to offer to the audience this Eid.
Race 3 is an important film for Salman Khan for a few reasons including the fact that his last Eid release did mediocre business at the box-office and he has taken over the Race franchise from the previously successful director duo Abbas-Mustan and actor Saif Ali Khan.
