Salman Khan to play a warrior in Atlee's two-hero action flick; report

Salman Khan-Atlee project:

The news of superstar Salman Khan and Jawan director Atlee coming together has left fans excited. The project will go on floors once Salman is done with Sikandar, which means after the first quarter of 2025. As per the latest report in Pinkvilla, this mega-budget, two-hero film of Atlee's will be a period drama based on the reincarnation theme and will see Salman Khan in the role of a warrior. 

"Atlee has been working on a mega-budget reincarnation drama for the last year, which is set in two distinct eras—past and present. The filmmaker is looking to have a strong, never-seen-before period set up with breathtaking visuals of a fictional world. It’s going to be Salman Khan presented like never before in the avatar of a warrior in the period era, whereas the present era dynamics have been kept under wraps for now. The focus of the film will be more towards the period portions than the present, as the script demands more of drama and conflict in the fictional fantasy world. All the characters will be interlinked from past and present,” a source told the portal. 

The source further added that it's a big film and will see a proper pairing of a Bollywood superstar and a superstar from the South. “It’s an ambitious film with Atlee looking to create a new world for the cinema-going audiences, with lots of action, drama, thrills, and emotion. He is looking to lock the entire star cast for A6 by the end of this year, and the filmmaker is confident to get one of the two legends—Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth—to play the parallel lead."
