The trailer of Freaky Ali was released last evening at a suburban theater in Mumbai. Present at the event were the Khan brothers --Salman, Arbaaz and Sohail. While this is a joint production venture by the three brothers, the film has been directed by Sohail, and features Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Arbaaz in the lead roles.
The film, which is supposed to hit theatres on September 9, will clash with Baar Baar Dekho starring Sidharth Malhotra and Katrina Kaif. Sallu downplayed the ‘clash’ angle. He said: “There’s no clash with Baar Baar Dekho, the Bakrid weekend is a long one and two films can sufficiently do well. Farhan (Akhtar, co-producer) is like a brother to us, and Katrina is a great friend. We hope their film does as well as ours.”
The Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor also quelled rumours of bad blood between him and Sanjay Dutt. When asked who his friends in the industry were, Salman said in his inimitable witty style, “I have many friends in the industry -- male and female, animals, insects, reptiles…”
When the media asked him to name just one, the actor retorted: “Whose name would you like to hear?” adding, “Everyone is a friend, but the closest are Sanju (Dutt), Shah Rukh (Khan) and Aamir (Khan). I am sure you find these names boring, so I’ll give you a girl’s name now -- Katrina Kaif.”
All of this and a lot more masti happened at the trailer launch event. Check it out in the video above.
