Salman Khan to work with Atlee in a reincarnation action drama, says report

The excitement surrounding Atlee's upcoming project with Salman Khan intensifies as reports suggest that the director is in discussions to cast either Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth in a pivotal role.

Atlee, the director of Jawan, is reportedly gearing up for his next project with Salman Khan. The highly anticipated mega-budget film, tentatively titled A6, has already generated a buzz among fans, promising an exciting collaboration.

According to Pinkvilla, Atlee’s upcoming film is expected to be a high-budget reincarnation action drama, spanning two distinct time periods—past and present. A source involved with the project revealed that Atlee has spent over a year working on this grand drama, with plans to feature an impressive period setting and breathtaking visuals of a fictional world. Salman Khan will be presented in a never-before-seen warrior role during the period segment, while the specifics of the present-day storyline are still being kept secret. "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 revealed.

The excitement surrounding Atlee's upcoming project with Salman Khan intensifies as reports suggest that the director is in discussions to cast either Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth in a pivotal role. This potential pairing could become one of the biggest casting coups in Indian cinema, though the second lead has yet to be confirmed.

The film is slated to begin production in Summer 2025, with Atlee currently refining the script and gearing up for an extensive pre-production process.

Interestingly, Salman will also appear in a special cameo in Atlee's Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan. Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming project Sikandar , director A.R. Murugadoss which is set to release on Eid 2025.
