Salman Khan's upcoming slate continues to expand. After signing an action-comedy with filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K., and while shooting for his untitled film with director Vamshi Paidipally and co-star Nayanthara, the superstar is now reportedly exploring another major project.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, Salman is currently in discussions with actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar for a large-scale historical action drama that could mark their first collaboration. A source close to the development told the publication, “Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar have been meeting regularly over the last month and discussing a potential collaboration. Salman has loved what he has heard so far and has shown keen interest in the project.”

The source added that conversations are still in the early stages. “The talks are still at an early stage and have not yet reached the paperwork phase, but both sides are excited about the possibility of coming together for the first time.” If the project moves forward, it could become one of the most ambitious films of Salman Khan's career. The proposed venture is reportedly being designed as a grand period action drama based on one of the most celebrated figures in Indian history.

Sharing more details about the scale of the film, the insider revealed, “It is a massive period action drama mounted on a grand scale. The idea is to tell the story across 2 films.”

The project is expected to be produced under the banner of Excel Entertainment by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. If everything falls into place, production is likely to begin in the summer of 2027.

The development comes at a busy time for Salman Khan. The actor is currently filming an untitled project directed by Vamshi Paidipally, which features Nayanthara in a leading role. He is also expected to start work on Raj and DK's action-comedy entertainer around October 2026. The film reportedly revolves around a retiring superhero and promises a blend of action and humour.

Meanwhile, Salman’s much-discussed collaboration with director Apoorva Lakhia, titled Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, remains in limbo with no official update on its production timeline.

Dhurandhar is all over the internet and it has become a big talking point thanks to its real-life references, performances, certain moments and of course the music. A day after its release on December 5, the song ‘FA9LA’, featuring Akshaye Khanna’s character Rehman Dacait, making a dramatic entry at a celebration in Balochistan, has gone viral. The song is very catchy and there’s no way an active social media user hasn’t seen its videos and Reels. In an interview with Mid-Day, choreographer Vijay Ganguly shared some interesting trivia about working on the track.

Seeing the scene’s mood and the dancers’ performance, the fantastic actor that Akshaye is, he said he would dance a bit when he walks in. None of us knew what he was going to do. Akshaye entered the scene, took it from that point, and spontaneous...
