Fans eagerly awaiting Salman Khan's upcoming film, "The Bull," will have to exercise patience as the release date has been pushed back by two months. The delay is attributed to the ongoing India-Maldives controversy that has cast a shadow over the production schedule.
The film, which commenced shooting with the Mahurat Shot on December 28, 2023, is a gripping tale based on the historic Operation Cactus. This military operation witnessed the valor of Indian forces as they successfully saved the Maldives from an impending crisis.
At the helm of this daring mission was Indian officer Farrukh Bullsara, whose leadership and strategic acumen played a pivotal role in the success of Operation Cactus. The film promises to bring this heroic story to the silver screen, offering audiences a glimpse into the courage and sacrifice of those involved.
"The Bull" is being produced by renowned filmmaker Karan Johar, known for his knack for delivering compelling narratives. The decision to delay the release comes as a result of the sensitivity surrounding the India-Maldives controversy, prompting the filmmakers to reassess their timeline.
Despite the setback, the team remains committed to delivering a high-quality cinematic experience. Salman Khan, who is essaying a crucial role in the film, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, emphasizing the importance of honoring real-life heroes through compelling storytelling.
As fans eagerly await the film's release, "The Bull" is now scheduled to hit the theaters on Eid 2025. The extended wait is expected to heighten anticipation, with the hope that the delay will only serve to enhance the overall impact of this tribute to Operation Cactus and the bravery of those involved.
