Salman Khan ensures quality control

Salman Khan at a special kitchen

Salman Khan has been personally overseeing the distribution of meals to the frontline workers. The superstar's Being Hangryy trucks have been providing food kits since the junta curfew was announced in the state. Khan visited the special kitchen set up at a Bandra restaurant where the food is prepared and packed. He was keen to check the quality and freshness, and ensure the smooth functioning of the distribution chain.

Almost a year on, as the country reels under the second wave of the Coronavirus, the superstar has revived the initiative. This time around, the Being Hangryy trucks are distributing meals among the frontline workers. Yuva Sena leader Rahul Kanal, who is coordinating the endeavour with the actor, told mid-day that the superstar sprang into action as soon as the state government imposed a junta curfew from April 15. "Salman expressed his concern for the police officers, BMC staff and health workers on duty. Given their long work hours, he wondered how they would procure essentials since most shops are shut and the grocery stores are functioning in the stipulated four-hour window. Within 24 hours of our conversation, our food trucks hit the road," said Kanal.

On the work front, as promised to his fans, Salman Khan is all set to release his next Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai on Eid. Radhe to have a simultaneous release on the pay-per-view platform Zeeplex, along with its theatrical release on Eid this year. Radhe features Disha Patani, Randeep Hooda and Jackie Shroff, and is directed by Prabhudheva. The film is also scheduled to be released in the Middle East, North America, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and Europe, and will be the first Bollywood film to release theatrically in the UK since lockdown last year.
