Salman had announced the film in January 2020, and it was scheduled for Eid 2021 release. However, the film has been delayed owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Although not much is known about Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali yet, Sajid Nadiadwala had earlier said in an interview, “I had started writing this film even before I started with Kick 2. Salman and I are collaborating after six years, and it feels just like our Judwaa days. Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali is a film with a very different approach, and we are sure the audience will love to see Salman in the avatar we have planned.”
While south star Pooja Hegdge will play the lead, actor Venkatesh is also said to have been roped in for a pivotal part. As per reports, Salman and team will start shoot for the film this month. A set for the same has already been readied in Mumbai.
