Salman Khan stepped out on Thursday evening to support newcomer Veer Pahariya, attending a special screening of the latter's upcoming film Prem Keetanu and extending his best wishes to the team ahead of its theatrical release.
A star-studded evening
The superstar arrived in a casual yet stylish look — a light blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves, white trousers, dark sunglasses, a watch and bracelets — and posed for cameras at the venue, including alongside a young attendee in a dark blue shirt. His presence added a star-studded touch to the event as he turned up to back Veer Pahariya just a day before the film opens.
Also spotted at the screening were Sara Tendulkar, composer Himesh Reshammiya and his wife, and others from the industry.
What Prem Keetanu is about
Directed by Apoorv Singh Karki, Prem Keetanu is a comedy-drama-romance that stars Veer Pahariya in the lead alongside Aparshakti Khurana and Aafiya Sayed. Set against the backdrop of college life, the film follows Vishal, a carefree college student played by Veer, who finds himself caught in a complicated love triangle.
The story unfolds across Uttar Pradesh and Delhi-NCR, weaving together love, friendship, heartbreak, career struggles, and the aspirations of young Indians. Aparshakti Khurana plays Vishal's romantic rival, with both characters vying for the affection of Aafiya Sayed's character.
Release details
The film is produced by Gaurav Verma under Avanika Films and is gearing up for its worldwide theatrical release on October 2, 2026, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti.
Earlier reports had speculated that Prem Keetanu might be a Hindi remake of the Malayalam romantic comedy Premalu. Veer Pahariya has since clarified that it is an original story and not a remake.
With Salman Khan's endorsement and a festive holiday release, Prem Keetanu heads into the weekend with plenty of attention on it.
