Overview
- This week multiple Indian outlets reported that Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar have held regular meetings over the past month to discuss a large two‑part period action drama.
- Sources say discussions remain at an early, non‑paperwork stage and no formal deal or public confirmation has been issued by either Khan or Akhtar.
- Reports identify Excel Entertainment and producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani as linked to development, but those attachments are based on unnamed insiders.
- If the parties agree the film could begin production in summer 2027, a timeline that depends on clearing Salman and Farhan’s busy schedules and other projects.
- A first‑time collaboration between two high‑profile figures would increase the project’s scale and fan interest and could reshape Salman’s multi‑year slate if negotiations move forward; clearer details are expected by year‑end.
