'Will get lowest numbers', says Salman Khan predicting Radhe business

Salman Khan is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai but the superstar is candid in confessing that he has no hope in terms of the film making big money post-release.

Hyderabad: Superstar Salman Khan's Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai is all set for hybrid release. Ahead of his Eid bonanza, Khan has said that he is aware of the inevitable loss that he and his co-producers of the film will have to bear due to coronavirus pandemic.

With the pandemic paralysing cinema business in India, the film will primarily reach out to fans in the country through pay-per-view release. The actor in the latest interview has candidly confessed that he has no hope in terms of the film making big money post-release.

"We will get the lowest numbers out of Radhe. We may not even cross Rs 10-15 crore. Whoever wants to be happy with the lowest number, can be. Some people will be happy with my highest numbers and some with my lowest. We will lose money on Radhe and box office collections are going to be almost zero, but we are still going ahead with (releasing) Radhe," he said.
