No rest, already on to the next

Salman Khan

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will reportedly begin his next within five months, possibly a war drama, said to be directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The film will be based on the 2020 Indo-China Galwan Valley conflict, showcasing the bravery of Indian soldiers (Bhai at the border, May 2). We have learnt that Salman hasn’t officially signed the project, but has given a go-ahead to the filmmaker. Reports suggest that he prioritised this project after a potential collaboration with filmmaker Kabir Khan on Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 failed to materialise. Earlier, mid-day had reported that veteran writer V Vijayendra Prasad was writing the script of the sequel to the 2015 classic (A scintillating script in the making, April 28), however, the project now seems to be delayed.
