Salman Khan fans will be relieved that finally the suspense of the release of his next and Sohail Khan’s Mental has been broken. The film has been scheduled to release on 24 January (2014), two days prior to Republic Day However, Salman will not be missing next year’s Eid, his lucky festive slot next year, when Sajid Nadiadwala's Kick will hit the screens. But none of Salman’s film is releasing in Eid this year (2013). Would it affect the markets? Said an industry insider, “Whenever Salman's film releases, it's like Eid.” Well said…we must say! As far as the development of Mental is concerned, in late 2012, Sohail Khan announced his intention to remake the film Stalin. Renaming it Mental, Sohail began to put the project into action. Shooting of Mental started on 27 February, 2013 but the process got postponed from February to March, 2013.
