The actor was joined by the show’s creator-director Nikkhil Advani and lead actor Bhuvan Bam. Following the session—where the trio watched key sequences on an iPad—Khan took to his Instagram Stories to give the historical series a public shout-out, sharing footage from the evening alongside the show's official trailer and the hashtag #TheRevolutionaries.
"All the Way to Galaxy": Bhuvan Bam Shares Candid Moments
Marking a major milestone in his transition from digital content creator to dramatic actor, Bhuvan Bam took to social media to share pictures from his evening with Salman Khan, expressing gratitude with a famous nod to Khan's Kick dialogue:
“Revolutionaries dil mein aate hain, dimaag mein nahi. Watched the show with @beingsalmankhan at his house. A huge thank you to our captain @nikkhiladvani for trusting me with this project and taking The Revolutionaries all the way to Galaxy. Quite literally.”
The informal get-together highlighted Salman Khan's long-standing camaraderie with Nikkhil Advani—who previously directed Khan in the 2007 romantic ensemble Salaam-e-Ishq and collaborated on Hero (2015)—while serving as an encouraging vote of confidence for Bam's dramatic turn.
Inside 'The Revolutionaries': Forgotten Freedom Fighters
Premiering on Prime Video on September 11, 2026, the series dramatizes the armed resistance movement against the British Raj:
The Inspiration: Adapted from economist and author Sanjeev Sanyal’s acclaimed non-fiction book Revolutionaries: The Other Story Of How India Won Its Freedom.
The Character Arcs: The narrative centers on four young figures whose paths intertwine with seminal real-life freedom fighters:
Bhuvan Bam as a character inspired by Rash Behari Bose
Rohit Saraf channeling Sachindra Nath Sanyal
Gurfateh Pirzada embodying the fiery spirit of Bagha Jatin
Pratibha Ranta depicting the courage of Pratibha Lahiri
Supporting Cast: The ensemble is rounded out by veteran performers Paoli Dam and Tota Roy Chowdhury.
Reception and Streaming Footprint
Multi-Lingual Premiere: Backed by Emmay Entertainment, the series debuted in Hindi alongside regional audio dubs in Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, and Bengali.
Critical Polarization: While critics have praised the ambitious scale, period recreation, and Bhuvan Bam’s earnest departure from comedy, sections of trade and media reviews pointed out that the show occasionally leans into cinematic grandeur at the expense of grounded historical depth.
Salman's Organic Push: High-profile endorsements from industry veterans like Salman Khan provide a vital algorithmic push on streaming leaderboards, boosting viewership among wider mass demographics.
Trade Verdict:
Salman Khan opening Galaxy Apartments for a private screening of The Revolutionaries offers valuable third-party validation for Nikkhil Advani and Prime Video's high-budget historical gamble. For Bhuvan Bam, an endorsement from one of Bollywood’s biggest megastars cements his successful graduation from sketch comedy into serious, long-form dramatic storytelling.
