Salman Khan, who in May this year was given a five-year sentence — later suspended — for killing a man and injuring four others when his car mounted a pavement in 2002, will not be travelling to different cities to promote his forthcoming drama film Bajrangi Bhaijaan.
The actor wants to stay with his family, so he will be promoting the film via video conferencing, said the actor’s spokesperson.
The 49-year-old was seen on Friday at the launch of special Eid song Aaj Ki Party from the film, along with director Kabir Khan, composer Pritam Chakraborty and singer Mika Singh.
However, the Dabangg star will not travel to other cities as his family wants him to spend more time with them.
“Salman will spend this time with his family and will not be a part of the city visits. We are doing video conferencing from Mumbai,” his spokesperson said in a statement.
The story of Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is about a man discovering love on a journey from India to Pakistan.
Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which is slated to release on July 17, is Khan’s second film with Kabir after 2012 blockbuster Ek Tha Tiger.
