MUMBAI: Kajol and Vishal Jethwa starrer Salaam Venky is slated to hit the big screens on 9th December 2022. It marks the comeback of Revathy as a director, and there’s a decent pre-release buzz about the film. But, this year, moviegoers have been quite choosy in going to theatres and watching the movies, and films that were of the slice-of-life dramas genre, have failed to make a mark at the box office. So, will Salaam Venky do well at the box office?

TellyChakkar recently spoke to producer and film business expert, Girish Johar, and asked about what can be the opening of Salaam Venky. He told us, “Salaam Venky is a very urban, high-concept film. It’s a human drama and it has a very limited appeal. I hope that it touches the right chords, and it also depends a lot on word of mouth. On Friday, it will take a slow start, but I hope it has a good Saturday and Sunday and stays stable on Monday onwards.”

Well, let’s wait and watch what response Salaam Venky will get at the box office.

Kajol’s last release was Tanhaji: The Unsung Warrior in which she had an extended cameo. The movie was a blockbuster at the box office. But, Kajol’s last film as a lead was Helicopter Eela which was a disaster at the box office. So now, all eyes are on Salaam Venky. 

Apart from Kajol and Vishal Jethwa, Salaam Venky also stars Rajeev Khandelwal, Aahana Kumra, Rahul Bose, Priyamani, Ridhi Kumar, and Aneet Padda. Aamir Khan will also be seen in a cameo in the film.
