Actor Salman Khan is set to enter the superhero space with a new film being directed by The Family Man creators Raj and DK. This is the first time Salman will collaborate with the filmmaker duo.
The yet-untitled film is being produced by Atul Agnihotri, while talks are underway with Mythri Movie Makers to come on board as the studio partner, Pinkvilla reported.
When will Salman start shooting?
The film is currently in the pre-production stage, with the makers working on its scale, look and technical aspects, and is scheduled to go on floors in October 2026.
“It’s a big-budget superhero film designed for a global audience. The team is aiming to begin filming by October 2026, once all pre-visualisation and prep work is in place,” a source told Pinkvilla.
The female lead for the film is yet to be decided, and earlier speculations regarding Samantha’s casting are entirely false. The production team is currently considering various names and expects to settle on the female lead within the next two months, the report added.
Salman’s other upcoming projects
While the collaboration marks Salman’s first full-fledged superhero venture, Salman Khan is also shooting for an untitled action film directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Nayanthara plays the female lead, and the yet-untitled film is set for an Eid 2027 release. Presented by Dil Raju, the film is produced by Shirish and Kuldeep Rathore and co-produced by Rafi Kazi.
Salman will next be seen in Apoorva Lakhia’s upcoming war-drama, Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. The film, earlier titled Battle of Galwan, is centred on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese forces. The actor finished the final scenes in Mumbai after earlier shooting in Ladakh. The film also features Chitrangada Singh and Abhilash Chaudhary in crucial roles.
