Salman Khan is in talks for a superhero comedy film
According to Bollywood Hungama, Raj and DK have been in talks with Salman Khan for the past three months and are now developing a story based on an unconventional superhero concept. The proposed film is said to blend humor and action and follow a hero who wants to break away from the role he has played for years.As per the report, “Salman Khan will be seen as a superhero who wants to hang up his mantle and retire from saving the world, after getting tired of doing the same thing repeatedly. But circumstances refuse to let him live in peace and keep bringing him back into action again and again, eventually thrusting him into a bigger conflict. Blending broad comedy with superhero beats, the narrative is a high-concept superhero comedy.”
“Reports suggest that Salman Khan likes the basic idea but wants to see the full script before committing to the project. Budget is another major factor in the discussion.The source also added, “What Salman is worried about is the budget. He has asked Raj & DK to develop it keeping a proper budget in mind, as Salman is not in the mood to do an expensive superhero film. The director duo is working on the script, keeping in mind Salman Khan’s personality traits.”

If the script comes together as planned, the next step will be the actor’s formal narration.

During this period, Salman was seen shuttling between the hospital and the film sets.Reports say that the production team has adjusted the schedule to support the actor’s commitments.

They work as writers, directors and producers in Indian cinema and streaming shows.
