Salman Khan, Atlee Join Hands For A Mega Two Hero Actioner? Here’s What We Know

Atlee is currently working with Varun Dhawan for the highly anticipated Baby John. Reportedly, the filmmaker’s next film is also touted to be massive actioner with Salman Khan. Buzz is that, a top A-lister from the South will also be joining. 


A source close to the production house informed Pinkvilla that, “Salman Khan and Atlee have been bonding with each other for the last 1 year, and have discussed a lot of ideas for a potential collaboration. The conversations are moving in the right direction as there’s a subject that has aligned with the synergies of both Salman and Atlee. It’s a yes in principle from Salman Khan and the director is presently working on the screenplay.

The source also added that Atlee would be narrative the entire script to Salman in the next one month post which they would lock the timelines of the shoot. “It’s a film that is slated to go on floors by early 2025. Atlee is planning to make it the biggest Pan India spectacle by pulling off one of the biggest casting coups of recent times. The film will feature Salman Khan and a top A-List superstar from the South. The talks are on and if the things materialize, it will raise the stakes even more,” the source added. Reportedly, the makers were in talks with Ranveer Singh, which is not true at the moment as ‘the idea is to make the film with a North and South combo at the moment.’

On a closing note, source added, the signing will happen only once Atlee locks the screenplay. “There is a positive intent from all the stakeholders to collaborate on the film and there will be a clear picture within the next 30 days when all the meetings and narration happen. In-fact, there will also be a joint narration between Salman and the top star from the South once Atlee has locked his screenplay, as both the superstars have right now agreed in principle based on the idea.”
