Atlee Kumar in Talks with Kamal Haasan and Salman Khan for Pan-India Spectacle
Director Atlee is reportedly in talks with Salman Khan and Kamal Haasan for his next mega-budget action thriller. This potential collaboration promises to be a true Pan-India spectacle, uniting two of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars.
Atlee has been discussing the project with both actors for several months. “It’s a two-hero film that demands the presence of genuine superstars,” revealed a source. “Both Kamal Haasan and Salman Khan are excited about the idea and the potential collaboration. They’ve given a yes in principle, but paperwork will be finalized after a complete narration later this month.”
“After the success of Jawan,” the source continued, “Atlee aims to create the biggest action spectacle Indian cinema has ever seen. Talking to these two megastars is a big step in that direction.” Atlee plans to begin filming by early next year, making this a highly anticipated project for fans of both actors and action thrillers.
Sources suggest Atlee envisions a film that transcends regional boundaries and showcases Indian cinema on a global stage. Details about the film’s plot and character sketches remain under wraps, but sources hint at a story that will resonate with a global audience.
Atlee was also in talks with Rajinikanth. “Sun Pictures will produce the film, and they share a family-like bond with superstar Rajinikanth. Atlee has been in touch with Salman Khan for the last two years. They are confident about getting both Rajinikanth and Salman Khan on board,” a trade source revealed.
The film, yet to be titled, aims to begin shooting by the end of 2024. Only time will tell which South superstar will agree to this two-hero project.
