Salman Khan Blocks August 2026 Calendar for Raj-DK Directorial
According to Bollywood Hungama, Salman Khan has expressed enthusiasm for a concept presented by Raj and DK and has tentatively reserved his schedule from August 2026 for the project. While his film Galwan is confirmed for an April 17 release, the actor is already planning his next major venture.
“Salman is waiting to hear the full narration, but is excited to collaborate with this quirky duo. It’s a big-budget action comedy, and Salman Khan is all charged up to hear the full narration soon. Mentally, he is committed to this film, but it will all be locked only when the paperwork is done,” a source told Bollywood Hungama.
Mythri Productions Partners with Salman Khan and Raj-DK
The upcoming film represents a three-way collaboration between Salman Khan, director duo Raj-DK, and prominent production house Mythri Productions. This partnership has been in discussion for an extended period.
“Salman and Mythri are committed to doing a film for the longest time, and if everything lands well, the Raj and DK directorial will finally see the two stalwarts coming together. It’s Sultan meets Pushpa,” the source revealed.
The description “Sultan meets Pushpa” suggests a blend of wrestling-themed action elements reminiscent of Salman Khan’s 2016 hit Sultan with the raw, massy appeal of the Pushpa franchise, indicating a unique genre fusion.
