Bollywood Superstar Salman Khan is reportedly in preliminary discussions with acclaimed filmmaker duo Raj & DK for an upcoming action-comedy. While a formal agreement has not yet been signed, industry insiders suggest that Khan has expressed a keen interest in the project’s concept, which aims to blend his signature stardom with the director’s unconventional storytelling style. ‘Mere Raho’: Sai Pallavi’s Bollywood Debut With Junaid Khan DELAYED Due to Salman Khan’s ‘Battle of Galwan’? Here’s What We Know.

Salman Khan To Collaborate With Raj & DK?

According to a report in Pinkvilla, the proposed film is being envisioned as a large-scale pan-India spectacle. The narrative reportedly centres on an "unlikely" agent who unintentionally finds himself at the heart of an international conspiracy. The project is expected to mark a tonal shift for Khan. Sources close to the development indicate that while the film will maintain high-octane action, it will lean heavily into the quirky, grounded humour that Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK are known for in hits like The Family Man and Farzi.

Pinkvilla quoted a source close to the production, "Salman Khan has heard the basic idea and 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."

Production Timeline and Schedule

While the creative alignment is underway, the primary challenge remains the actor’s crowded professional calendar. If negotiations conclude successfully, the production is expected to begin toward the end of 2026. The filmmakers are reportedly eyeing a major festive release window, potentially targeting Eid or Christmas 2027. This timeline allows Khan to complete his current commitments while giving the director duo sufficient time to wrap up their ongoing digital projects. ‘The Family Man’ Season 3 Review: A Solid if Not Entirely Flawless Thrill Ride With Manoj Bajpayee, Jaideep Ahlawat and Sharib Hashmi’s Superb Performances (LatestLY Exclusive).
