Superstar Salman Khan, who is irked by anti-religious messages being spread in his name regarding his forthcoming release \"Bajrangi Bhaijaan\", says police are taking required action against miscreants.

He has also reached out to his fans via social media, asking them not to believe the purported social media messages which claim \"Bajrangi Bhaijan\" will prove to be a hit even without viewership from his Muslim fans.

â€œÃ„nti religious msg\'s doing the rounds using my name don\'t believe these rumors, not true at all Informed the police, they r taking action,â€ Salman tweeted on Sunday.

The actor went on to add that he is a firm believer of \'unity in diversity\'.

â€œAlways hv n vil respect all faiths arre have them all in my own house under 1 roof (sic),â€ he added.

\"Bajrangi Bhaijaan\", which also stars Kareena Kapoor Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, is an emotional story of a journey of man from India to Pakistan with a dumb and mute girl.

The much-anticipated film is slated to hit the screens on July 17.

Why Marathi film \'Janiva\' left Salman Khan worried?

Superstar Salman Khan, who is usually unfazed by anything that comes against him, revealed that when he got to know Marathi film \"Janiva\" was slated to release on the same date as his \"Bajrangi Bhaijaan\", he became worried.

\"Janiva\" stars Satya Manjrekar, son of Mahesh Manjrekar, in the lead role.

At the trailer launch of \"Janiva\", Salman said: â€œOne day Satya came and told me â€˜Sir Iâ€™ve done a film and my film is releasing with your film â€˜Bajrangi Bhaijaanâ€™\'. I asked him, â€™17 July?\' He said yes. So, I told him, â€˜Satya, please shift the date as we are really worried for â€˜Bajrangi Bhaijaanâ€™.\"

\"So he went and told the producers and now their film is coming on July 31. Thank you Satya. I really appreciate it.â€

Salman came at the trailer launch to lend support for Satya.

Highly impressed by the look of the movie, the \"Dabangg\" superstar said: â€œIt looks like a film from the heart. It looks like a film where everyone has given their best. They have made a brilliant film with a great concept.\"

\"Even though the plot appears intense, there is a lot of youth in the film. I think the film is going to do very well because it rarely happens that while watching a promo, I get highly impressed.â€

Salman also joked about how Satya and he work out together and how laid back Satya is at the gym.

The film, directed by Rajesh Ranshinge, also stars Mahesh, Renuka Shahane, Salil Ankola and Kiran Karmarkar.
