Salman Khan, who was last seen in Sikandar, has not announced his next project till now. Several reports are coming in about his upcoming films but nothing has been announced till now. Recently, Peeping Moon has reported that Malayalam filmmaker Mahesh Narayanan is in early talks with Salman Khan for his next.
Peepingmoon report says, 'It is Salman Khan'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 towards the end of this year or early next year, after the actor wraps up filming Apoorva's Galwan-based war drama." This will be director's first Hindi cinema and is reportedly being put together by his sister, Alvira Khan Agnihotri, and her husband, Atul Agnihotri
A few days backs it was reported that Salman Khan has finalised his next project after Sikandar. After recurring meetings with directors like Ali Abbas Zafar, Kabir Khan, and Raaj Shandilyaa, among others, Salman has reportedly agreed to star in Apoorva Lakhia's upcoming film. As per reports, the film will be an army-based action thriller.
As per Pinkvilla, Salman Khan and Apoorva Lakhia's next film is based on the novel India's Most Fearless 3. It will be set against the backdrop of the 2020 Galwan Valley Conflict. 'Apoorva Lakhia and Salman Khan are all set to start shooting for the film from July 2025. The film will be shot in Ladakh and Mumbai, over a period of 70 days starting in July… 'It's a 2-night story, and hence, the logistics of a 70-day shoot seems to be a reality… It features Salman Khan as an army officer in a full-fledged film for the first time in his career, and he will be joined by three other actors from the younger generation," revealed a source to the portal.
Meanwhile, it is likely that after this film, Salman Khan will work with Kabir Khan again. However, this won't be for Banjrangi Bhaijaan 2. 'Kabir Khan is against sequels, and doesn't want to touch a classic like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. While he heard the idea cracked by Vijayendra Prasad, he isn't too keen on making Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. He has pitched an original larger-than-life drama to Salman, and the actor is considering that as a follow-up to Apoorva Lakhia, but nothing is confirmed at the moment. The idea at the moment is to shoot for Apoorva Lakhia from July to October, followed by Kabir Khan from November," the source shared.
