Salman Khan’s busy schedule just got busier! While he’s currently filming for the action flick Sikandar aiming for an Eid 2025 release, exciting news has emerged about his potential collaboration with director Atlee for a high-budget action film. The project will have two heroes, as per a report.
According to Pinkvilla, sources confirm discussions between Salman Khan and Atlee regarding a feature film produced by Sun Pictures. The duo has reportedly been bonding and brainstorming ideas for a potential project. “There’s a subject that aligns perfectly with both Salman and Atlee’s strengths,” revealed a source close to the development. Salman has given a preliminary go-ahead, and Atlee is currently working on the screenplay.
The script is expected to be presented to Salman within a month, followed by discussions on shooting timelines. The film is tentatively slated to begin in early 2025.
Atlee reportedly aims to make this a massive Pan-India spectacle by pulling off a casting coup. The film will feature Salman Khan alongside a top A-list superstar from South Indian cinema. Talks are ongoing, and if successful, this collaboration will undoubtedly raise the stakes and generate immense buzz.
Recent rumours about Ranveer Singh being cast are untrue. The focus is on creating a North-South actor pairing for this project. Additionally, sources clarify that this film is entirely separate from the one Atlee previously planned with Allu Arjun, which was said to be a period drama. This new project is a fresh script designed specifically for Salman Khan and a yet-to-be-named South Indian superstar.
The report reveals that while official contracts haven’t been signed yet, all parties involved seem enthusiastic about collaborating. A clearer picture is expected within the next 30 days, following further meetings and script narration sessions. Interestingly, once the screenplay is finalized, there will reportedly be a joint narration for both Salman and the South Indian star, who have both agreed in principle based on the initial idea.
This untitled film will be Atlee’s next project after the highly successful Jawan, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Nayanthara, and Vijay Sethupathi. With the script development underway, fans can expect more updates on this promising collaboration soon.
