Salman Khan is on cloud nine after the stupendous success of his recent release Bharat (2019), which has turned out to be the highest opener of his career. The movie, which was released on the auspicious occasion of Eid, is set to close out its first weekend at an impressive figure of ₹ 175 crores.
The latest news about the superstar is that now he will help his younger brother Sohail Khan in reviving his ambitious project Sher Khan. If you keep a close tab on everything happening in Bollywood, you would know Sher Shah planned some seven years ago.
“Even though Sher Khan was put on hold, its writing had not stopped. The brainstorming continued and now, a considerable portion of the script has been completed. The adventure film will also have a good dose of VFX, which is also being incorporated in the screenplay,” a well-placed source reveals to an entertainment portal.
The source goes on to add, “The Khan clan is pleased with the way the script has turned out so far. Naturally, if they can lock it by the first quarter of 2020, then Salman would like to work on Sher Khan after Inshallah wraps up.”
Letting on some more details, the source says, “Sohail is the darling of the family. And Salim Khan saab and Salman absolutely dote on him. Given that Alvira and Atul’s Bharat is out and Arbaaz’s Dabangg 3 is under-production, Salman is looking to line up Sher Khan. Since they have finished a considerable portion of the script and are likely to lock it in the coming months, it won’t be surprising if Salman decides to do it after completing Inshallah.”
Salman Khan will next be seen in Arbaaz Khan's Dabangg 3, which is scheduled to release on 20th December. He will then move on to shoot Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Inshallah. Kick 2 and Veteran (2017) remake are also in the pipeline.
