Kareena Kapoor Khan Leads Talks for Salman Khan–Raj & DK Superhero Film

The move signals a push for a large-scale, VFX‑driven theatrical project that would mark Raj & DK’s return to cinemas.

Overview

  • Multiple outlets report that Kareena Kapoor Khan is in advanced talks for the female lead opposite Salman Khan, with verbal interest noted but no signed deal.
  • The untitled film would be Salman Khan’s first on-screen superhero role, with reports describing an ageing hero pulled back into action.
  • Producer Atul Agnihotri is backing the project with Mythri Movie Makers, and coverage says pre‑production is underway with a tentative October–November 2026 start.
  • Mid‑day reports that Weta FX is in discussions to handle visual effects, pointing to plans for global‑scale imagery from a studio known for The Batman and Avengers.
