Salman Khan Launches 'Kick' Game for Android Ahead of Film Opening

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has launched a mobile game which is based on his upcoming film 'Kick' in Mumbai on Saturday.

In the game, the player takes on the role of 'Devil' (Salman's name in the movie) and embarks upon a benevolent yet exciting journey where he robs the rich and corrupt and deposits that money in the bank for philanthropic causes.

The game includes numerous obstacles which include security alarms, lasers, manholes, street corners and more. The game has to be played in a stealth style and demands escape from cops.

Replying to a query by reporters at the launch function, Salman said he was not very interested in games. "At our house, Arhaan (son of Arbaaz Khan), and Nirvaan and Yohan (both sons of Sohail Khan) are good in it. I am interested in sports and not games," he added.

The game was announced by the actor and Disney India's Interactive business.

"We wanted to create an interactive experience of our movie for fans. The mobile game developed by Disney India is exciting and easy to play, it is engaging. I hope my fans will

enjoy playing the game," the actor said.

Actress Jacqueline Fernandez and director Sajid Nadiadwala were also present at the event. Salman is the latest entrant to virtual club wherein stars like Shah Rukh Khan, Hritik Roshan, Rajinikanth had already made a foray by launching games of their respective films like 'Ra.One', 'Krrish 3' and 'Kochadaiyaan'.

The game ('Kick') is developed for both feature phones and smartphones to reach out to a wide audience of mobile users in the country. It is currently only available on Android, but will be made available on Windows Phone, iOS and feature phones soon after the film's opening. 'Kick', directed by Sajid Nadiadwala, will release on July 25.
