Double treat for Salman Khan’s fans: Prem is back in two avatars

“Main waapis aa gaya”, says Salman Khan on his return to the silver screen as Prem in the much awaited trailer of “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” (PRDP). It’s surely a double bonanza for the actor’s fans as he sports two different looks.

The trailer, launched on Twitter on Thursday, unfolds a new and royal chapter about love and family ties, painted on a ‘larger than life’ canvas with music and dance weaving in a ‘desi’ fantastical story.

Salman says it is the “most beautiful film” he has done with director Sooraj Barjatya, with whom he has teamed up with after 16 years.

Salman shared: “PRDP is for everyone with family and wanting to have one. Every family has issues, but people who have family are blessed. This is one of the most beautiful film that Sooraj/Rajshri and me have done together in every aspect. The trailer will convey #PRDPtrailer.”

The actor looks equally good in both avatars in the trailer. His clean shaven look shows his character as an innocent and gullible person while the mustachioed get-up suggests an angry young man’s demeanour.

A family drama, PRDP also stars Sonam Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Neil Nitin Mukesh.

The trailer opens with Salman bowing down in front of his family portrait, and then mentions that he is back. It then showcases a colourful montage of clips from the movie, which seems to be replete with music, grand sets and lavish song-and-dance sequences.

And it’s not all about love and romance, as the trailer also promises a fair share of edgy action, but in a royal way – be it a chandelier falling down in front of Salman, an exciting chariot chase or a swordfight.

Sonam also posted the video with a tweet that read: “Couldn’t wait to share this guys!!”.

The much anticipated film will release on November 12, a day after the festival of Diwali. Presented by Fox Star Studios, “Prem Ratan Dhan Payo” is produced by Rajshri Productions.

The trailer has already created a buzz in tinsel town with Karan Johar writing: “Sooraj Barjatya inspired me to be a director! Am standing first in line to see his labour of love!”, and Vivek Agnihotri posting that “@BeingSalmanKhan will take BO to some other level with #PremRatanDhanPayo Suraj will shine this Diwali. FOR SURE”.
