Report: Salman Khan locks this flop director for his next

It’s been so long since Salman Khan delivered a proper hit. His last release, Sikandar, which was released for Eid, ended up being a disaster. Salman and Murugadoss were trolled heavily since the movie was highly outdated and boring. Now all eyes are on Salman’s next and the latest news must be even more disappointing for fans.

According to a report in Pink Villa, Salman Khan has locked Apoorva Lakhia as the director for his next. The director has mostly delivered duds in his career, and this is the worrisome factor. It is said that prominent directors like Ali Abbas Zafar, Rajkumar Periasamy, Anees Bazmee, and Kabir Khan have narrated a few ideas to Salman, but Apoorva Lakhia’s script won over the Bollywood Megastar.

The report mentioned, “Salman Khan and Apoorva Lakhia’s next is based on the novel India’s Most Fearless 3, set against the backdrop of the 2020 Galwan Valley Conflict. The duo is all set to start shooting in July 2025. Filming will take place in Ladakh and Mumbai, over a period of 70 days.”

Further, it was stated that Salman Khan would star as an army officer in the movie, and that he would be joined by three other actors from the younger generation. Can Apoorva Lakhia redeem himself and deliver a big hit to the Bajrangi Bhaijaan actor? Let’s wait and see.
