Jagapathi Babu, who is well-known for his acting skills in the South and Bollywood industry, will be seen next in Salman Khan’s upcoming film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. The actor will be playing the antagonist in the film, which is all set to release on April 21, 2023. In a recent interview, Jagapathi Babu opened up about his experience working with Salman Khan and revealed that the superstar made him dye his hair black to look younger for the role.

The 61-year-old actor said, “There was no reservation regarding the role. Bhai wanted me to dye my hair black and look younger. This is because he has this logic and said ‘I can’t fight a person who is older than me.’ So, we had to do that and nothing else. It wasn’t a reservation but something that the character needed.” Jagapathi Babu also spoke about his working equation with Salman Khan, saying, “He makes it so simple. He guides you. You don’t feel intimidated by him at all because he doesn’t make you feel that way.”

Jagapathi Babu also revealed how he landed the role in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. “How it came to me is something I don’t know. I would say Gunjalkar who is with Salman bhai is a major instrument for this. I think he pitched it to Salman Bhai. It took a while and I don’t know what aspired between them and we said ‘Let’s do it’,” he said.

Directed by Farhad Samji, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan also stars Pooja Hegde as the female lead. Venkatesh Daggubati, Raghav Juyal, Siddharth Nigam, Jassie Gill, Shehnaaz Gill, and Palak Tiwari are also part of the supporting cast. Ram Charan will make a cameo appearance in the Yentamma song, which has already created quite a buzz on the internet. The film will have a worldwide release by Zee Studios.
