“However, Salman has chosen the trailer of Hero, his production that launches Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty, will be attached to Bajrangi Bhaijaan.”

If reports are to be believed, the online trailer launch of Bajirao Mastani was initially scheduled for Wednesday was postponed to Thursday as the Hero trailer was unveiled on Tuesday.

“Both Eros and Sanjay Leela Bhansali have mutually decided to stay out of Salman Khan’s way.

“As for the trailer of Bajirao Mastani being released in theatres on Friday with Bajrangi shows, that's not happening anymore. The Bajirao Mastani trailer will go out independently to theatres across the country and abroad on July 17,” the source conlcudes.
