Earlier this week, it was announced that Salman Khan is set to collaborate with Excel Entertainment on a major period film. According to credible sources, discussions are progressing well, with the film directed by the nationally recognized Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra.
Salman is reportedly interested in this project as he believes it aligns perfectly with his larger-than-life persona. He has already reviewed the script and is enthusiastic about portraying a well-known figure from Indian history. With this role, he’s expected to undergo a significant physical transformation.
Although Salman hasn’t officially signed the contract yet, talks with Excel Entertainment are ongoing. These discussions include details about shooting schedules and payment. If everything proceeds smoothly, Salman aims to begin filming in the summer of 2027, soon after wrapping up his current project, a superhero comedy directed by Raj and DK.
More details about this exciting venture are expected later this year, as Salman wants to ensure he makes the right decision. For now, he’s looking forward to the challenge of playing a historical warrior.
