Salman Khan in talks with Farhan Akhtar for two-part historical epic: Report
In response to a report by Pinkvilla, Salman is currently in discussions with actor-filmmaker Farhan Akhtar for a large-scale historical motion drama that would mark their first collaboration. A source near the event told the publication, “Salman Khan and Farhan Akhtar have been meeting repeatedly during the last month and discussing a possible collaboration. Salman has loved what he has heard thus far and has shown keen interest within the project.”
The source added that conversations are still within the early stages. “The talks are still at an early stage and haven’t yet reached the paperwork phase, but each side are enthusiastic about the potential of coming together for the primary time.” If the project moves forward, it could turn into one of the vital ambitious movies of Salman Khan’s profession. The proposed enterprise is reportedly being designed as a grand period motion drama based on one of the vital celebrated figures in Indian history.
Sharing more details in regards to the scale of the film, the insider revealed, “It’s an enormous period motion drama mounted on a grand scale. The concept is to inform the story across 2 movies.”
The project is predicted to be produced under the banner of Excel Entertainment by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. If all the things falls into place, production is more likely to begin in the summertime of 2027.
The event comes at a busy time for Salman Khan. The actor is currently filming an untitled project directed by Vamshi Paidipally, which features Nayanthara in a number one role. He can be expected to begin work on Raj and DK’s action-comedy entertainer around October 2026. The film reportedly revolves around a retiring superhero and guarantees a mix of motion and humour.
Meanwhile, Salman’s much-discussed collaboration with director Apoorva Lakhia, titled Maatrubhumi: May War Rest In Peace, stays in limbo with no official update on its production timeline.
