However, he has not yet given his final approval.” The source added, “If everything aligns and Salman comes on board, the makers aim to start filming by the end of 2026.
Right now, the focus is on locking the script and creative vision. ”Since talks are preliminary, no official announcement is expected until the script and creative aspects are finalized. Both parties are intent on delivering fresh content while maintaining the mass appeal Salman is known for. On the professional front, Salman is preparing for Battle of Galwan, based on the June 15, 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley.
