No matter how Salman Khan‘s career graph fluctuates, fans remain eagerly curious about his next big-screen venture. While high hopes were pinned on his Eid 2025 release Sikander, the film’s buzz quickly fizzled out following the massive success of Sunny Deol’s Jaat at the box office.

Recently, speculations were strong that Salman would next dive into the sequel of his beloved film Bajrangi Bhaijaan. But if recent reports are to be believed, the superstar has hit pause on that sequel for now and is instead gearing up for a gripping war-based project with director Apoorva Lakhia.

Salman Gives Nod to Galwan-Based Film — Is Shooting About to Begin?

In a move that might disappoint some fans, Salman Khan is set to begin work on a much-anticipated war drama before reuniting with Kabir Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2. According to a report by Mid Day, Salman is expected to commence shooting within the next five months.

This film will reportedly center on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash between India and China, with Salman playing the role of a courageous Indian soldier. While the actor hasn’t officially signed the dotted line, sources say he’s already given his verbal nod to the project.

Why Has Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 Been Delayed Again?

The sequel to Bajrangi Bhaijaan has been in development for quite some time. Salman initially planned to shoot it alongside director Kabir Khan, but due to unforeseen delays in Kabir’s schedule, the film has been pushed back. Scriptwriter Vijayendra Prasad, father of SS Rajamouli, had earlier confirmed that he was working on the script, but the project continues to face production hurdles.

What’s Next for Salman Khan?

After wrapping up this war drama and eventually Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, Salman Khan’s schedule is packed through 2028. Next in line are big-ticket films like Kick 2, Tiger vs Pathaan, and Dabangg 4. Fans can also rejoice at the news that Salman is reuniting with his long-time collaborator Sooraj Barjatya for yet another heartwarming family drama.

One thing is certain — Salman Khan’s plate is full, and fans have a thrilling lineup to look forward to in the years ahead.
