  • Script reviewed by Salman, but no official decision made yet
  • Battle of Galwan starring Salman Khan set for release on 17 April 2026

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is in early discussions with acclaimed filmmaker duo Raj & DK for a potential new action-comedy film, according to reports. The talks are said to be in the initial stages, with Salman having already reviewed the script and expressed interest in the project, though no official decision has yet been made.

Raj & DK — best known for their work on critically acclaimed productions such as the Prime Video series The Family Man — are recognised for blending sharp humour with high-octane storytelling. Their style has struck a chord with audiences, making them among India’s most exciting directors for genre-bending cinema. The collaboration, if it moves forward, could mark a fresh creative pairing between Salman’s mass appeal and Raj & DK’s distinctive narrative voice.

According to a report by Pinkvilla, “Salman Khan has heard the basic idea and has shown interest in it. It’s an action-comedy, but it will also present Khan in a slightly different space. However, he is yet to give his final nod to the project.”

Details about the storyline, casting, or production timeline are being kept under wraps, but insiders suggest the film will combine action, comedy, and the larger-than-life elements that have defined much of Salman’s filmography.

The source further adds, “If everything falls into place and Salman comes on board, the makers are looking to take the film on floors by the end of 2026. At the moment, it’s all about aligning creatively and locking the script.”

As discussions continue, official confirmation from either Salman Khan or Raj & DK is awaited, and announcements about more details will likely follow once agreements are finalised.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is busy with his upcoming film Battle of Galwan, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and produced by Salman Khan under the banner Salman Khan Films. The film stars Khan and Chitrangada Singh in the lead roles and is based on true events. Battle of Galwan is scheduled for a theatrical release on 17 April 2026.
