Last week, a report in Mid-Day stated that Salman is in early discussions with Raj and DK for a superhero film. Now, according to the latest update, Samantha is also considered for the film. "Samantha is very much in the conversation. She shares a strong creative equation with the makers, and they feel she fits the part," said the source.

The makers are eyeing to take the project on floors by August, 2026.

Before his film with Samantha, the Sikandar star will start his film with Nayanthara, who has emerged as the frontrunner for the female lead, though talks are ongoing, a source shared.

This will be Nayanthara's second Hindi film with another Khan, after Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan.

A source told Pinkvilla, “Salman loved the script and the commercial ingredients it brings to the table. It’s a high-octane action thriller with a strong emotional core. Vamshi Paidipally is planning to present Salman Khan in a completely new avatar with a distinct look, which is something that excited him instantly.”

It will reportedly be a “large-scale theatrical spectacle with a strong pan-India appeal” and is expected to release in 2027.

It is said to be his next project after Battle of Galwan.
