After Sikandar’s debacle, Salman Khan shocked everyone by announcing a film on ‘Battle of Galwan’ with Apoorva Lakhia. The director has a poor track record and hasn’t delivered a single commercial hit in his career. However, Salman has entrusted him with this war-based project. Before commencing the shoot, the actor is now actively holding discussions with multiple directors to lock his next.
According to an exclusive report in Pink Villa, Salman is in advanced talks with Mollywood’s acclaimed director and editor Mahesh Narayanan for a period thriller. For those unfamiliar, Mahesh Narayanan is the man behind the award-winning films Take Off and Ariyippu.
It is said that the Malayalam filmmaker shared multiple ideas with Salman, and the one that piqued Salman’s interest was the period thriller laced with some action elements, set between the 1970s to 1990s.
Salman is reportedly looking to step out of his comfort zone and explore new genres that challenge him as a performer. If Mahesh Narayanan gets the nod from the Bollywood Megastar, the project will go on floors sometime in 2026, as per the report.
