Salman Khan on Monday visited 'Bhaijaanz Kitchen' in Bandra to look over the quality of the food being supplied by the restaurant to the frontline workers across Mumbai. Salman and Yuva Sena Leader Rahul Kanal have started an initiative to provide food packets to the COVID-19 frontline workers through their Chinese restaurant 'Bhaijaanz Kitchen'. The initiative is currently targeting to provide the meal packets to at least 5,000 frontline workers, including police personnel, health workers and also people living in containment zones.

Rahul even shared a video on his social media account where the star could be personally checking the quality of the food that was being supplied to the frontline workers. This is what he wrote on Twitter- "Big thank you @AUThackeray ji @BeingSalmanKhan bhai for making this possible as team @yuvasenabandraw for reaching out our Frontline force... means a lot when bhai comes to keep a check on the supply and motivate the team to reach out to one and all..Jai Hind !!! Jai Maharashtra." [SIC]

Sharing some more pictures of the actor, Rahul further tweeted- "Today we shall reach out the areas of Bandra - Worli - juhu - BKC - Agripada... proud feeling that we could do our bit ans our mark of respect for tireless service of @MumbaiPolice @mybmc and health warriors." [SIC]

And talking about the initiative, Rahul said that the idea behind the initiative that was started a week back came after taking inspiration from Salman's family.

"When I met him eight days back, he told me about his parents sending tiffins to the officials outside the galaxy, so he told me: Let's reach out to everyone who is 24/7 for us in the field, be it police bandobasts, nakabandis, cleaning staff of BMC, health workers in containment zones," Rahul said.

He also told that the packet contains a main meal, biscuits and a water bottle. Revealing about the menu he said, "Salman Bhai is in constant touch with the menu. He even came last evening to check the food and now he has also asked to keep chicken nuggets, boiled eggs, chicken biryani, veg biryani and Vitamin C-based juices in the box." The food made at 'Bhaijaanz Kitchen' is later supplied through 'Being Hangry Vans' across Mumbai.

Over the last 12 years, Eid has become synonymous with Salman Khan. This is the festival that helped the leading man rediscover himself as a star. He was always one, just not able to deliver the bucks at the box office. But the kind of rise he saw after he began releasing his films on the said festival, there was no stopping him.

He dropped the trailer of his next, Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, a film that has been awaiting release since last year. It also becomes the first film to release simultaneously on Pay Per view and in cinema halls. The move is both unique and unpredictable. The commercial (and critical) fate of this actioner will be sealed on May 13.
