Salman Khan is reportedly exploring several new projects as he plans his upcoming film slate. While there has been no major update on Maatrubhumi, the actor is currently linked to a film with Vamshi Paidipally and an action-comedy project with Raj & DK.
Recent reports suggest that Salman Khan is also in discussions with Farhan Akhtar for a large-scale period drama. The proposed film is said to be based on the life of a well-known figure from Indian history. The project is expected to combine action with a historical narrative.
According to industry reports, Salman and Farhan have been in talks for nearly a month. Sources claim that Salman has shown interest in the project, although formal agreements are yet to be completed. Both parties are reportedly enthusiastic about the potential collaboration.
The film is expected to feature significant action sequences while presenting a story set in a historical period. Reports also suggest that it may follow a two-part format. This approach has drawn comparisons to Dhurandhar, which is also associated with a multi-part storytelling structure.
The reported project has generated excitement among fans, many of whom believe the subject has strong box office potential. The association between the Khan and Akhtar families has also become a talking point, given the longstanding relationship between their fathers in Hindi cinema.
The collaboration is attracting attention because it would mark the first time Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar work together on a film. Industry observers have noted that the project could be significant for Excel Entertainment as the production house looks to strengthen its position with major releases.
At the same time, some fans have shared their views on the film’s production strategy. A section of supporters believes that controlling costs could be important in the current box office environment. Others feel the film should maintain the scale and appeal expected from a Salman Khan project.
There has been no official confirmation regarding the period drama so far. However, the reports have already sparked interest among moviegoers. The project’s future and its potential impact on Salman Khan’s career will become clearer once formal announcements are made.
