Description: “Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan,” also abbreviated as KKBKKJ or KBKJ, is a 2023 Indian Hindi-language action film directed by Farhad Samji and produced by Salman Khan Films. The movie features Salman Khan, Venkatesh, Pooja Hegde, and Jagapathi Babu in leading roles, supported by an ensemble cast. It serves as a remake of the 2014 Tamil film “Veeram.”
The story revolves around Bhaijaan, a self-defense instructor who lives happily with his brothers and often resorts to violence to resolve conflicts. However, he decides to change his ways for the sake of his Telugu girlfriend, Bhagyalaxmi. When Bhaijaan discovers that her family is facing trouble due to a past rivalry with a man named “Rowdy” Anna, he takes it upon himself to protect them without their knowledge.
Originally, director Farhad Samji planned to remake “Veeram” as “Bachchhan Paandey” with Akshay Kumar. However, the script was later altered to adapt another Tamil film, “Jigarthanda.” Since Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment held the rights to both films, Samji modified the story of “Veeram” and pitched it to Salman Khan, who accepted the project. Eventually, Nadiadwala stepped back, and Khan produced the film under his banner, Salman Khan Films.
Principal photography began in May 2022 and concluded in February 2023, with filming locations including Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Ladakh. The film was released on April 21, 2023, coinciding with the Eid festival. The project was initially announced on January 10, 2020, under the title “Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.”
