Salman Khan is reportedly set to team up with filmmaker duo Raj & DK for a large scale superhero action film. The project is expected to bring together the actor’s mass appeal and the directors’ style of mixing action, comedy and strong storytelling. Raj & DK are known for projects such as The Family Man and Farzi, and this film is expected to mark their return to a bigger theatrical entertainer.
According to reports, the upcoming film will have a superhero at its centre and is being planned as a pan India release. The story is said to have a tone similar to the Hollywood film Hancock, combining superhero action with comedy and an unusual character driven story. However, details about Salman Khan’s character and the film’s plot are currently being kept under wraps.
The project is reportedly scheduled to go on floors in January 2027. Before starting work on the film, Raj & DK are expected to complete Farzi 2. Salman Khan, meanwhile, has Monster and his television commitments with Bigg Boss 20 lined up before he begins shooting for the new project.

The collaboration is also significant because Raj & DK have mainly built their recent reputation through streaming projects. Their work on The Family Man and Farzi has received attention for combining realistic characters with humour, drama and action. With Salman Khan as the lead, their next film is expected to have a much larger theatrical scale.
For Salman, the project could also offer a chance to explore a different kind of action role. While the actor has appeared in several action films over the years, a superhero based character would take him into a new space.
The makers are reportedly planning the film as a major theatrical spectacle rather than a streaming release. More information about the supporting cast, title, storyline and release date is expected to be announced later.
At present, the project remains in the development stage, with shooting planned to begin in January 2027 once the director duo and Salman Khan complete their existing commitments.
