Salman Khan wrapped up the shoot of 'Antim: The Final Truth' in February, eight months ahead of its originally planned October release. But now, a long wait lies ahead of Khan before the Hindi adaptation of the Marathi hit, 'Mulshi Pattern' (2018), can enjoy a theatrical run. It is heard that the release of the Mahesh Manjrekar-directed film has been deferred due to the prevailing situation. The superstar-director duo intended to kick off the promotions with the launch of two posters, which has been held off.

“Salman is emotionally invested in 'Antim' as it’s an important film for brother-in-law Aayush Sharma, who plays the gangster to the superstar’s Sikh cop. While a teaser and Aayush’s look were unveiled in February, the makers were about to launch the first poster in March-end, announcing its October release. However, with the second wave of the pandemic taking over the country, they thought it best to wait it out,” reveals a source from the creative team.
