Salman Khan delivered a playful shoutout to Bobby Deol’s Bandar teaser, sharing the intense promo on Instagram with his trademark humor: “Nahi jaoge toh pachtaoge!” The Dabangg star’s post went viral instantly, blending Bollywood camaraderie with hype for Anurag Kashyap’s gritty thriller releasing June 5.
Salman’s caption aced an acronym breakdown: “B for Bobby Deol, A for aag, N nahi jaoge toh pachtaoge, D for Deol ABB Sunny Deol, A for abhi kya? Aamir Khan? R for Race so Race to the cinema to see it. Akele mat jaana doston ke saath jao aur haan Bandar karega ab sab ko Cinema Ke Andar.” Fans erupted: “Bhai promoting Bandar = guaranteed blockbuster!” and “Salman x Bobby reunion energy!”
The teaser, dropped May 7, showcases Bobby as Samar—a disgraced TV star spiraling from fame to prison amid rape allegations. Retro 90s rockstar vibes clash with courtroom dread and jail menace, earning Kashyap’s signature raw edge. Sunny Deol also cheered: “Looking so gooood my lord Bobby,” amplifying family backing post-Animal resurgence.
Bollywood Bromance Boost
Salman-Bobby’s bond dates to Race 3 (2018), where Bobby’s villainy shone despite mixed reviews. This promo transcends past feuds—Salman supporting Kashyap’s project despite Abhinav Kashyap tensions—proving industry maturity. Bobby, riding Animal and Alpha waves, eyes lead validation through Bandar’s TIFF-premiered real-life inspiration.
With Sanya Malhotra, Saba Azad, and Sapna Pabbi, the film promises #MeToo reckoning meets survival thriller. Salman’s 200M+ followers ensure multiplex pull amid June clashes. Post-teaser, trade buzz predicts ₹50 crore opening, crediting Bhai’s endorsement.
This shoutout underscores Salman’s kingmaker status—Tiger vs Pathaan looms, but ally mode activates for friends. Bobby reposted with hearts, signaling mutual respect. As Bandar races theaters, Salman’s “pachtaoge” warning guarantees no FOMO for fans.
