While there is buzz that Atlee has roped in Salman Khan for his next venture, latest reports claim that Thalaiva Rajinikanth has also been cast in the film. As per reports, Rajinikanth will begin shooting after Coolie and Salman will begin working on this project after wrapping up Sikander.
“Sun Pictures will be producing the film and they share a family-like bond with superstar Rajinikanth. Atlee on the other hand has been in touch with Salman Khan for the last two years. They are confident to get both Rajinikanth and Salman Khan on board,” a trade source told Bollywood Hungama.
“Salman Khan aims to start Atlee film after wrapping up Sikandar. Superstar Rajinikanth on the other hand will take this up after Coolie. It is a combination to be remembered for generations'” the trade source further added.
This comes a few days after it was reported that Salman Khan and Atlee will be collaborating on a film soon. A source close to the production house informed Pinkvilla, “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.”
“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.
The 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,” the source said.
Meanwhile, Salman Khan has started shooting for his next film Sikandar. The Sikandar is slated for a 2025 Eid release. Rashmika Mandanna will be seen as the leading lady.
