Principal photography for the film began in May 2022 with filming taking place in Mumbai, Hyderabad and Ladakh. It is scheduled for release on 30 December 2022, coinciding with New Year.
Director Farhad Samji initially sought to remake the 2014 Tamil film Veeram as Bachchhan Paandey (previously titled Land of Lungi) with Akshay Kumar. However later, he changed the script of Bachchhan Paandey to be the remake of another Tamil film Jigarthanda instead. As Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment held the remake rights of both the films, Samji tweaked Veeram's story and pitched to Salman Khan who accepted the film.[1][2] Khan is also producing the film under his banner Salman Khan Films.[3]
The film was announced on 10 January 2020 with the title Kabhi Eid Kabhi Diwali. However, it was later postponed for a longtime and suffered numerous pre-production delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and later it was revived with the reported title Bhaijaan. However, in August 2022, the film's official title was announced as Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan.[4]
In February 2020, Pooja Hegde was signed as the female lead.[5] In December 2021, Venkatesh joined the cast, marking his comeback to Hindi cinema after Taqdeerwala (1995).[6] Jassie Gill, Siddharth Nigam and Raghav Juyal were roped in to play Khan's brothers in the film.[7][8]
Punjabi cinema actress Shehnaaz Gill,[9] South Indian cinema actress Malvika Sharma,[10] and newbie Palak Tiwari[11] were signed, marking their Hindi film debut with the film. Jagapathi Babu was signed to play the main antagonist, making it his second Hindi film after Radhe Shyam (2022) which also starred Hegde. Telugu actor Ram Charan was cast for a special appearance.[12][13]
Principal photography began on 12 May 2022 in Mumbai.[14] Later in June, the production moved to Hyderabad.[15][16] In August 2022, a song was filmed along with some portions in Ladakh.
In June 2022, Bollywood Hungama reported that Ravi Basrur was approached to compose score and Yo Yo Honey Singh, Tanishk Bagchi & Lijo George-DJ Chetas to music. The source also claimed Devi Sri Prasad, who was earlier signed for the film, opted out the project.[17] Prasad, however, denied rumours, saying that he had already composed a dance number for the film and it's going to be a catchy song.[18]
The film is scheduled for theatrical release on 30 December 2022.[19]
