It’s official now. Bajirao Mastani’s trailer won’t be attached to Bajrangi Bhaijaan print. It is being sent directly to the theatres and it is upto the management whether they want to play it or not. Says a source close to the development, “Eros International who are co-producers on both projects were hoping the trailer would find a place in Salman Khan’s film. However Salman has decided that only Hero’s trailer, which launches Sooraj Pancholi and Aathiya Shetty will be attached to his film.” It is learnt that the Shah Rukh Khan’s Raees trailer too will be attached to Salman’s film.

In fact, the online trailer launch of BM, scheduled for Wednesday was postponed to Thursday as Hero’s trailer was launched on Wednesday.

Says the source, “Both Eros and Sanjay mutually decided to stay out of Salman Khan’s way. The teaser of BM was postponed by a day to avoid a clash with Hero. The trailer of Bajirao Mastani being released in theatres on Friday, we are no longer attaching the trailer to Bajrangi Bhaijaan. But the Bajirao Mastani trailer will go out independently to theatres across the country and abroad on Friday.”
