After collaborating with Shah Rukh Khan, director Atlee is set to join forces with another Bollywood superstar for his next film. The director is reportedly set to team up with Salman Khan, who was last seen in `Tiger 3`.

According to media reports, Atlee initially aimed to collaborate with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun. However, after not getting the actor’s approval, he pitched a new idea to Salman Khan, which the Bollywood superstar really liked. It is also reported that Atlee`s substantial paycheck was a concern for Geetha Arts, owned by Allu Arjun`s father, Allu Aravind.
