Salman Khan's "Bajrangi Bhaijaan" was not only a blockbuster hit in India, but the film shattered records in Pakistan as well.
Now, the actor is back to spell the magic at the box office with his next release "Prem Ratna Dhan Payo". The family drama, which marks the return of the character "Prem" on-screen after 15 years, will be released in India and Pakistan on 12 November, a day after Diwali.
"'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo' celebrates togetherness in a family. We are happy that the film will be releasing in Pakistan and our neighbours will be able to enjoy the film," a spokesperson of the film told IANS.
Salman had earlier mentioned that he wants the movie to release in the neighbouring country as cinema is one 'powerful medium'.
