A song-and-dance routine seemed almost the perfect way for Salman Khan to wrap up his portions in Antim: The Final Truth, after the gruelling schedule of the past two months. Earlier this week, the superstar matched steps with brother-in-law Aayush Sharma as they filmed the situational dance number, Bhai Ka Birthday, at Madh Island.

The Mahesh Manjrekar-directed actioner, which sees Khan as an honest cop to Sharma’s gangster, is an official adaptation of the Marathi hit, Mulshi Pattern (2018). A source from the Antim unit reveals that Bhai Ka Birthday is the Hindi counterpart of Ararara khatarnak that featured in the original.

“It’s a catchy party number that sees a don celebrating his birthday in a grand manner. Since the don has taken Aayush’s character under his wing, the latter attends the celebration. Though the original song didn’t feature the cop, Mahesh decided to include Salman in the proceedings to give it a mass appeal. Mahima Makwana and Pragya Jaiswal also joined the actor duo in the track,” says the source.

The song has been choreographed by Shabina Khan and Mudassar Khan. The latter also designed the Ganpati celebration number, featuring Khan and Varun Dhawan, last month. While it’s a wrap for the superstar, the cast and crew have a few days of patchwork left.
