After Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee is once again back with a bang as he is all set to collaborate with Salman Khan. This is the sixth directorial film of Atlee. The film has been the talk of the town, as it will be an epic two-hero saga. However, there has been no update on who is going to be opposite Salman.
Salman Khan to collaborate with Atlee in reincarnation action drama
As per reports, Atlee is trying for Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth for the parallel lead alongside Salman Khan. The casting will be finalised soon for the action-packed entertainer. Atlee’s next will be a reincarnation action drama and will feature Salman Khan-like never-before-seen characters.
As per the source close to Pinkvilla, “Atlee has been working on a mega-budget reincarnation drama for the last year, which is set in two distinct eras – past and present. The filmmaker is looking to have a strong, never-seen-before period set up with breathtaking visuals of a fictional world. It’s going to be Salman Khan presented like never before in the avatar of a warrior in the period era, whereas the present era dynamics have been kept under wraps for now. The focus of the film will be more towards the period portions than the present, as the script demands more drama and conflict in the fictional fantasy world. All the characters will be interlinked from past and present.”
The source further added that the mega-budget two-hero epic saga will go on floors by summer 2025. The source added, “It’s an ambitious film with Atlee looking to create a new world for the cinema-going audiences, with lots of action, drama, thrills and emotion. He is looking to lock the entire star cast for A6 by the end of this year, and the filmmaker is confident to get one of the two legends – Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth – to play the parallel lead.”
The film will be produced by Sun Pictures and be shot over a period of one year starting in Summer 2025. With this movie, Salman Khan will also make his comeback to the realm of reincarnation following the 1995 release of Karan Arjun.
On the work front, Salman will also be seen in an extended cameo in the Christmas 2025 release, Baby John with Varun Dhawan.
