Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is reportedly in talks with acclaimed Malayalam filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan for a potential large-scale action thriller, reported PeepingMoon.
The project is still in its early stages, and if it materializes, it will mark Narayanan's Hindi directorial debut.
The film could go on floors by late 2025 or early 2026 after Khan wraps up filming for the Galwan Valley war drama.
Production details
Khan's sister and brother-in-law are backing the project
The project is reportedly being backed by Khan's sister, Alvira Khan Agnihotri, and her husband, Atul Agnihotri, under their production house, Reel Life Productions.
A source told PeepingMoon, "It is Salman's most commercially oriented script to date. He hasn't given his nod yet but should the project move forward, the makers plan to take it on floors toward the end of 2025 or early 2026."
