As per a Bollywood Hungama report, an insider was quoted telling the publication, "Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali started shooting on Salman's farm on the outskirts of Mumbai last month, and now the title has been changed to a shorter Bhaijaan. The reason behind this is the fact that, Bhaijaan is the affectionate name fans use for Salman. In fact, Bhaijaan was the title Salman wanted for this particular project, a family saga of a patriarchal family where the eldest son lords over the rest of the family."
Further talking about the reason why the film's title has undergone change, the source said, "Salman's role in the film is similar to the one he plays in real life in his own family. Salman Khan, in all his wisdom, has decided to eponymously name the film after his own character."
As for the film's current cast, the Salman Khan starrer now features Shehnaaz Gill who will make her Bollywood debut, Pooja Hegde, Raghav Juyal, Jassie Gill and Siddharth Nigam.
