Recently at the trailer launch of the film, Sooraj Barjatya revealed that Salman Khan wished to be a part of Uunchai. “When I was making this, Salman asked me, ‘Sooraj, what are you making? Why are you going to the hills?’ He also told me, ‘I can do this film!’ I said no! Because we all know he can climb the mountains. But I needed people who can look as if they can’t,” the filmmaker said. Uunchai marks Sooraj’s seventh directorial. The film is scheduled to release on November 11.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan has several films in the pipeline, including Tiger 3 and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ka Jaan. He is also hosting Bigg Boss Season 16.
