The year 2023 marked Shah Rukh Khan’s triumphant return to the big screen after a four-year hiatus, where he took charge of the box office with three hit movies – Pathaan, Jawaan and Dunki.
For those of us who’ve witnessed the iconic Khan rivalry over the years, it was a nostalgic experience. While SRK was basking in success, both Salman Khan and Aamir Khan were facing challenges at the box office. Salman struggled with “Kisika Bhai Kisiki Jaan,” and Aamir grappled with the fate of “Laal Singh Chaddha.”
Unfortunately, Salman’s Ek Tha Tiger also met with a lukewarm response. However, fast forward to the present, and it seems Salman Khan is gearing up for a major comeback. The Bollywood icon is setting his sights on dominating the box office in 2025. Following a rollercoaster ride in 2023, marked by a mix of a flop and an underperforming film, Salman Khan is determined to ensure that all his upcoming projects are nothing less than spectacular blockbusters.
There’s buzz in the air as reports reveal that Salman Khan is teaming up with Karan Johar for an adrenaline-pumping army-based action thriller titled “The Bull.” The film is set to be directed by Vishnuvardhan, known for his success with “Shershaah.” Excitement is building up as fans anticipate the powerhouse combination of Salman, Karan, and Vishnuvardhan in this upcoming project.
Fresh off the presses, a new report is making waves, suggesting that Bhai (Salman Khan) is joining forces with yet another South Indian filmmaker – none other than AR Murugadoss. The anticipation is building as fans eagerly await the outcome of this collaboration between Salman Khan and the renowned director.
AR Murugadoss, celebrated for his Tamil blockbusters, achieved a milestone in 2008 by directing India’s inaugural Rs 100 crore net earner, “Ghajini.” He further showcased his directorial prowess with the 2014 hit “Holiday,” featuring Akshay Kumar. The man sure knows how to craft cinematic success!
Dishing on Salman Khan’s collaboration with AR Murugadoss, a source spilled the beans to Pinkvilla “Salman Khan and Sajid Nadiadwala have been discussing a probable collaboration for a while now. When Sajid Nadiadwala and AR Murugadoss discussed this subject, the only name that came to their mind was Salman Khan, and when the producer discussed the film with Salman, it was an instant yes from the superstar.”
Adding to the buzz, the source spilled that the budget for this global action entertainer is set to be a staggering Rs 400 crore, “The yet untitled action thriller will be shot in Portugal and other European countries apart from some portions in India on a huge budget of Rs 400 crore, making it the most ambitious film of Sajid Nadiadwala. The meetings took place earlier in the year and all the energies aligned in the right way to start the film as soon as possible. Among every script that came his way over the last year, the AR Murugadoss film is something that excited him the most, leading him to put the film on priority.”
We just hope that Salman Khan makes a massive comeback at the box office as he has been struggling at the box office for quite some time now. We hope he will be careful with the kind of movies that he selects and doesn’t disappoint his fans with senseless movies. Are you excited about Salman Khan’s upcoming movies?
