After the huge success of Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan, director Atlee is ready to team up with Salman Khan for his sixth film. The news of this collaboration has been buzzing among fans, with many eager to learn more about the project.
The film is expected to be an epic two-hero saga, with Atlee planning to cast either Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth alongside Salman Khan in a parallel lead role. This could become one of the biggest casting coups in recent times, though the final casting is still to be confirmed.
According to a report in Pinkvilla, Atlee’s next film is a high-budget reincarnation action drama featuring Salman Khan in a never-before-seen role. The film will span two eras—past and present—with stunning visuals set in a fictional world. Salman will portray a warrior in the period era, while details of the present-day storyline are being kept secret. The focus will be on the period segments, as the script calls for intense drama and conflict in the fantasy world, with all characters connected across both timelines.
The report also added that the mega-budget two-hero epic is set to begin production in Summer 2025, as Atlee needs time to finalize the script and start pre-production. It’s an ambitious project aimed at creating a new cinematic world filled with action, drama, thrills, and emotion. Atlee plans to finalize the entire cast for A6 by the end of this year and is confident that either Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth will play the parallel lead.
The film, produced by Sun Pictures, will be shot over the course of one year, starting in Summer 2025. It is expected to be Salman Khan’s major release in 2026, with an official announcement and teaser planned for next year. All other details are being kept secret for now.
The film will mark Salman Khan’s return to the reincarnation genre, last seen in the 1995 film Karan Arjun. Additionally, Salman Khan will appear in an extended cameo in the Christmas 2025 release Baby John, starring Varun Dhawan. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.
