Salman Khan, Nayanthara-Starrer Locks Release Date. Check More Deets Inside
Here's when Salman Khan and Nayanthara-starrer will hit the theatres.
2026 felt like an anomaly for Bollywood, with Salman Khan missing from his customary Eid slot – a festival he has practically owned for over a decade. Year after year, Eid releases have become synonymous with the superstar, often turning into blockbuster events. This time, however, Salman chose to step aside as ‘Dhurandhar: The Revenge’ dominated the box office. But the pause is only temporary. The iconic Salman-Eid tradition is now set for a grand comeback in 2027, with the superstar locking in the festive release date for his next big-ticket film, co-starring Nayanthara.

“Thoda durr ki sochna chahiye, that’s why announced Eid… Don’t worry, iss wali ka bhi bataenge when the time is right. Patience, thoda sa sabar… mere jitna hi intezar karna padega. Baherhaal jo apka haal hai wo hi mera bhi haal hai…. haha,” he wrote on X.
