Mumbai: Salman Khan, who is looking forward to the release of ‘Battle of Galwan’, is likely to play a retiring superhero in Raj & DK’s upcoming action-comedy film.
According to a report in Bollywood Hungama, the filmmakers have been in discussion with the actor for the last three months and are planning something quirky.
The report suggested that the quirky superhero movie will be along the lines of the Hollywood blockbuster ‘Hancock’.
“Salman Khan will be seen as a superhero who wants to hang up his cape and retire from saving the world, having grown weary of doing the same thing on repeat. But circumstances refuse to let him live in peace and keep pulling him back into action time and again, eventually pushing him into a larger conflict. The narrative blends broad comedy with superhero beats-essentially, a high-concept superhero comedy,” a source was quoted as saying by the portal.
“Salman’s concern is the budget. He has asked Raj & DK to develop it with the right budget in mind, as Salman is in no mood to do an expensive superhero film. The director duo is working on the script, keeping Salman Khan’s character traits in mind,” the source added.
A narration for the film is expected to take place in April, and Salman is reportedly thrilled by the idea of the film.
“If all goes well, it will go on floors in November 2026. It’s produced by Mythri Productions with Reel Life Entertainment.”
Salman’s upcoming war drama ‘Battle of Galwan’, helmed by Apoorva Lakhia, also stars Chitrangada Singh and is slated to hit theatres on April 17.
