Salman Khan to start Apoorva Lakhia's army thriller in July; In talks with Kabir Khan for next project
Salman Khan will begin shooting an army-based action thriller with Apoorva Lakhia in July 2025, inspired by the novel India's Most Fearless 3 about the 2020 Galwan Valley conflict. The 70-day shoot will take place in Ladakh and Mumbai, marking Salman's first full-fledged role as an army officer. Over the past three months, Salman Khan has been talking to many directors about his next movie after 'Sikandar', which will be released on Eid 2025. Directors like Ali Abbas Zafar, Raaj Shandilyaa, Siddharth Anand , and others visited him. In the end, Salman chose an army action thriller written by Apoorva Lakhia for his next film. Film Inspired by India's Most Fearless 3 As per a report in Pinkvilla that Salman's forthcoming film with Apoorva draws inspiration from the book India's Most Fearless 3, which portrays events surrounding the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. Reportedly, Apoorva and Salman are all set to start shooting for the film from July 2025. The film will be shot in Ladakh and Mumbai, over a period of 70-days starting July. It features Salman as an army officer in a full fledged film for the first time in his career, and he will be joined by 3 other actors from the younger generation.

The source added that at the moment, the film is on track to go on floors in July 2025. This will be Khan's next, until and unless there is a major turn of events in the week to come by.

Kabir Khan 's Original Drama on the Horizon The report also shared that Kabir Khan is against sequels and doesn't want to touch a classic like 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. While he heard the idea cracked by Vijayendra Prasad, he isn't too keen on making ' Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2'.

EXCLUSIVE: Salman Khan confirms Apoorva Lakhia's next from July; In talks with Kabir Khan
Over the last 3 months, Salman Khan has been in talks with several filmmakers for his next on the big screen after the Eid 2025 release Sikandar. Galaxy Apartments and his Panvel farmhouse was a busy place, with directors paying a visit to win over the approval from Salman Khan. The directors he met include – Ali Abbas Zafar (for two scripts), Raaj Shandilyaa (Comedy), Siddharth Anand (Action film in 2026 after King), Rajkumar Periasamy (action-thriller), Anees Bazmee (comedy), Krish Ahir (Gangaram) and Kabir Khan among others. But the script that seems to have won Salman Khan over for his immediate next is an army-based action thriller by Apoorva Lakhia. According to sources close to the development, Salman Khan and Apoorva Lakhia's next is based on the novel India's Most Fearless 3, set against the backdrop of the 2020 Galwan Valley Conflict. 'Apoorva Lakhia and Salman Khan are all set to start shooting for the film from July 2025. The film will be shot in Ladakh and Mumbai, over a period of 70-days starting July. It features Salman Khan as an army officer for the first time in his career, and he will be joined by 3 other actors from the younger generation,' revealed a source close to the development. The source further informs that Apoorva will be headed for a recce to Ladakh in a fortnight, and has already started the process of locking HODs for the project. 'At the moment, the film is on track to go on floors in July 2025. This will be Salman Khan's next, until and unless there is a major turn of events in the week to come by. Salman believes that this is a terrific script, and the story has scope to make for a big screen experience. He often runs against the tide, and has shown his faith on Apoorva Lakhia for a sincere retelling of the real-life conflict. The casting for other key characters will begin shortly,' the source added. We hear, the film will be shot at real locations and the same spots will also be recreated in a grand way at a studio in Mumbai. 'It's a 2-night story, and hence, the logistics of 70-day shoot seems to be a reality.' Kabir Khan could follow the yet untitled Galwan Valley film, but to set the record straight, the fourth collab of Salman and Kabir won't be Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. 'Kabir Khan is against sequels, and doesn't want to touch a classic like Bajrangi Bhaijaan. While he heard the idea cracked by Vijayendra Prasad, he isn't too keen on making Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. He has pitched an original larger-than-life drama to Salman, and the actor is considering that as a follow-up to Apoorva Lakhia, but nothing is confirmed at the moment. The idea at the moment is to shoot for Apoorva Lakhia from July to October, followed by Kabir Khan from November,' the source shared. This seems to be a line-up at the moment, but we have seen the unpredictability of Salman Khan films over the last few years, and there could be a change of tide too, if he come across something even more exciting in the weeks to come. Directors continue to visit him, with the hope of collaboration, and it is only once a film begins will we know what's next. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates!

Salman Khan faces heat over belly flash in viral concert video, netizens divided over his fitness at 59
Superstar has been facing harsh trolling online after an old concert video went viral, showing the actor dancing with female performers, only to have his t-shirt ride up mid-performance, revealing his belly. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The clip comes on the heels of his latest film Sikandar crashing at the box office, prompting netizens to ask if Bhai's charm is finally wearing off. The video, believed to be from a Vancouver concert, features grooving to Leke Prabhu Ka Naam from Tiger 3. But what was meant to be a high-energy act soon turned into meme fodder as viewers fixated on his visible midriff and commented on his apparent discomfort and aging appearance. Social media exploded with reactions. One user wrote, 'Retirement le lo bhai.' Another added, 'Bhai, age is catching up. How long can someone stay fit?' A particularly harsh remark read, 'He's turned old, his body looks stiff. What kind of concert is this? The sad part is, there's no retirement policy for stars.' This isn't the first time Salman has sparked concerns. At 59, the actor was recently seen with a white beard, and fans speculated about his health after reports of a rib injury during the Sikandar shoot. His public appearances have also drawn attention for his slowed energy. Salman Khan ❤️ #bahijaan #salmankhan #sallubhai #tending #viralvideo #youtube #love #song But not everyone is trolling him. Fans and industry friends came out strongly in his support. Actor Suyyash Rai clapped back, saying, 'Aao toh 60 mei pehle! Uske jitna kaam karke dikhaao 60 mei… 60 choro 40-50 ki line mei aao…Fit Fat sab samjh aa jayega!' Another user shared, 'All the people who are trolling him need to take a good look at themselves and their bodies. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now He's in his late 50s—give him a break. Maybe he's going through a phase. Let's be thankful he's still here. Everyone goes through ups and downs.' One netizen reminded everyone of Salman's legacy, 'Remember, he's the one who brought body-building culture to the mainstream. Age brings its own challenges. Let's not discourage someone who has given us so much.' Despite the chatter, Salman's career is far from slowing down. He's currently linked to a slew of high-profile sequels, including Andaz Apna Apna 2, Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, Kick 2, and Dabangg 4. Buzz also surrounds a new project where he might portray an Indian Army officer in a film based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash. If all goes to plan, it could hit cinemas by late 2025.
