Enjoy the film by all means but please please avoid this. This is my request to all my fans... Thank you."

On Sunday, the actor shared a separate video on Instagram, in which fans of the actor can be seen pouring milk over Antim posters. The actor requested his fans not to waste milk and wrote: "Kai logon ko paani naseeb nahiin hota aur aap aise doodh waste karr rahe ho. Agar aapko doodh dena hi hai toh my request to all my fans is ki aap gareeb bacchon ko pilayein jinhe doodh peene ko nahiin milta. (A lot of people do not even have access to water and you people are wasting milk like this. I request all my fans to provide milk to the needy and to those who do not have access to it)."
This is what Salman Khan posted:
Antim is a high-octane action film directed by Mahesh Manjrekar. It also features Salman Khan's brother-in-law Aayush Sharma (married to Arpita Khan) as the antagonist. The film hit the screens on November 26.
Antim opened to mixed reviews from film critics. In his review for NDTV, film critic Saibal Chatterjee gave the film 2.5 stars and he wrote: "The extent to which Antim works will hinge principally on how his fans relate to his somewhat subdued performance. There are, for sure, several action sequences in which the star hits his straps. Among them are an entry scene in which Salman beats a rapist and his henchmen to pulp and a pre-intermission fight sequence that has him and Aayush Sharma, both shirtless, locked in a duel."
