L2: Empuraan, starring Malayalam superstar Mohanlal, is also hitting the big screens this Eid. While both films will compete for audience attention, Salman Khan has expressed nothing but admiration for Mohanlal.
In a recent interview, Salman said:
“I love Mohanlal, sir, as an actor. Prithviraj is directing it, and I know that it’s going to be an excellent film.”
Adding to the film’s excitement is the soulful romantic track “Hum Aapke Bina”, sung by Arijit Singh and composed by Pritam. Featuring Salman Khan and Rashmika Mandanna, the song has already become quite popular and is ruling over YouTube and Spotify.
