Kabir Khan helmed and co-wrote Bajrangi Bhaijaan, a 2015 Indian Bollywood comedy-drama film alongside K. V. Vijayendra Prasad, Kausar Munir, as well as Parveez Sheikh. It stars Salman Khan, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, as well as debutante Harshaali Malhotra and thus is produced by Salman Khan and Rockline Venkatesh. It describes the tale of Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, an ardent devotee of Hindu deity Hanuman, who embarks on a journey to return a mute six-year-old Pakistani Muslim girl Shahida, who has been separated from her family.
The primary filming for the film, which has a budget of 90 crores, began in November 2014. Aseem Mishra did the cinematography, while Rameshwar S. Bhagat edited the film. The film’s soundtrack was created by Julius Packiam, whereas the songs used in the movie were created by Pritam.

It is now the third highest-grossing Motion picture and the second-highest-grossing Bollywood movie, with a worldwide total of 969 crores.
So at 63rd National Film Prizes, it received the National Film Award for Best Popular Film Offering Wholesome Entertainment, and even at the 61st Filmfare Awards, this was nominated for four awards, notably Best Movie and Lead Actor, and received the Filmfare Award for Best Story.
