Directed by Farhad Samji, Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was initially slated to release on December 30, 2022, but Salman Khan decided to postpone the film to April 21 on the occasion of Eid 2023 as his spy thriller Tiger 3, originally scheduled to release on Eid, was pushed forward to Diwali 2023.

The entertainer is said to be the official remake of the 2014 Tamil blockbuster Veeram, headlined by Ajith Kumar. Farhad had initially pitched Veeram's remake to Akshay Kumar as Bachchhan Paandey, but then later changed Bachchhan Paandey's script to the remake of another 2014 Tamil film Jigarthanda starring Bobby Simha and Siddharth.
The filmmaker then pitched Veeram's remake to Salman, who liked the script and decided to star in the same. Apart from Ajith Kumar, the 2014 Tamil film starred Tamannaah Bhatia, Vidharth, Bala, Nassar, Pradeep Rawat, and Atul Kulkarni among others. Veeram was directed by Siva, whose next release is Suriya 42.
