Salman Khan might make a cameo in Atlee-backed 'Baby John'
What's the story
The much-awaited collaboration between Salman Khan and director Atlee is expected to happen soon, though perhaps not in the way fans might have hoped.
A report by PeepingMoon suggests that Khan will make a special appearance in the Atlee-backed upcoming action thriller Baby John, headlined by Varun Dhawan.
If true, this project will mark their first joint venture before they commence work on a reported full-length feature film later this year.
Cameo role
Khan and Dhawan will shoot an extensive mass-action sequence: Report
According to the report, Khan has yet to shoot his scenes for the film and will be sharing screen space with Dhawan in an extensive mass action sequence.
The report also mentions that Khan is scheduled to film this appearance in August, although the timing depends on weather conditions.
Previously, the actors have shared screen space—albeit in cameos—in the films Judwaa 2 and Antim: The Final Truth.
Additionally, Khan has lent his voice to Dhawan's film, Main Tera Hero.
Another collaboration
Meanwhile, here's what we know about Khan-Atlee's collaboration
Last month, numerous reports suggested that Khan is teaming up with Jawan filmmaker for a two-hero project, with names of Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan being mentioned.
A source was quoted by Bollywood Hungama, saying, "Sun Pictures will be producing the film and they share a family-like bond with superstar Rajinikanth. Atlee, on the other hand, has been in touch with Salman Khan for the last two years."
"They are confident they can get both Rajinikanth and Salman Khan on board."
