Thus came the twist
There are as many twists in the story of Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan as there are twists in the making of the film. The maker of the film, Farhad Samji, has been trying to make this film since 2014. It started with the remake of the Tamil film Veeram, in which Akshay Kumar was planned to be cast. After this discussion started on the script and idea of the film. After that the story changed so much over the years that everything from the stars to the story changed.
Akshay became Pandey, Salman became Bhaijaan
The debate went on so much that Akshay Kumar’s look was completely changed, after which the makers abandoned the idea of a remake of Veeram and started a remake of the Tamil film Jigarthandhak. Akshay Kumar was seen in the role of Bachchan Pandey in this film and the film also had the same name. Due to this, the makers chose Salman Khan for the second film. The film was initially slated to release as Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali, but the conversion process continued and the film was released as Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan instead of Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali.
