At the film’s trailer launch, he shared, “In my earlier two films, I shared the screen with him (Salman Khan). He has seen the film, and his blessings are always there with me. With this film, I am stepping out into the real world and working with new people. I hope I make him proud.”
The screening of “Ruslaan” witnessed a star-studded affair with Salman Khan arriving in style to support his brother-in-law. Arbaaz Khan also attended the screening, showing solidarity with Sharma.
