Salman Khan is ensuring his fans have a packed slate of entertainment to anticipate. Fresh off the intense buzz surrounding his upcoming war epic Battle of Galwan, the superstar is already in discussions for his next big-screen venture, signaling a dynamic return to a beloved genre.
The Buzz Around a New Project
According to a report from Pinkvilla, Khan is in preliminary talks with the acclaimed filmmaker duo Raj & DK (The Family Man, Citadel) for a major action-comedy film. If finalized, this collaboration would mark Khan’s return to the action-comedy space after a three-year hiatus—a genre that has historically been a stronghold for the actor, blending his larger-than-life screen presence with mass appeal and humor.
Sources indicate that while discussions are in the early stages, the creative alignment looks promising. The project is envisioned as a high-energy action-comedy that would perfectly suit Salman Khan’s iconic persona, while also providing Raj & DK the canvas to imprint their distinctive style—known for sharp writing, slick action, and engaging narratives.
A Potential New Avatar
An insider revealed, “Salman Khan has heard the basic idea and has shown interest in it. It’s an action-comedy at its core, but it will also present Khan in a slightly different and refreshing space. However, he is yet to give his final nod to the project.” This suggests that while the film will deliver the expected entertainment, it might also showcase a nuanced or novel side to the superstar’s acting repertoire.
The report further added that if all elements align and Khan officially boards the project, the aim is to commence production by the end of 2026. The current focus is on fine-tuning the script and solidifying the creative vision. “It’s all about aligning creatively and locking the script,” shared the source.
The Road Ahead: ‘Battle of Galwan’ First
Before this potential new film, all eyes are on Khan’s immediate comeback to theaters. The actor is set for a powerful return to the big screen on April 17, 2026, with the highly anticipated war action film Battle of Galwan. The recent teaser release already sparked massive fan excitement, highlighting Khan’s intense and patriotic role in a film that promises to be a cinematic tribute to valor.
This strategic move to explore a new action-comedy even before the release of Battle of Galwan demonstrates Salman Khan’s intent to diversify his upcoming portfolio, balancing intense drama with his classic commercial entertainers. For fans, it means a thrilling pipeline of content: first, a high-stakes war drama, potentially followed by a rollicking Raj & DK-directed spectacle.
As always, the industry and audiences alike will be watching closely for the official confirmation of what could be one of the most exciting collaborations in Indian cinema.
