    Sikandar is a hardcore drama stunt film. The current shooting schedule of Sikandar is 45 days in Mumbai. Later, the team of the film will shoot a major emotional scene at a palace in India. The film will be shot in many locations in India and Europe as well. Rajnikanth’s 2023 blockbuster movie J was the highest grossing film of the year.

    The last several films of Salman Khan have been failed badly. He has delivered hits and profitable films. But his fans are severely bothered about his discerning. Salman’s last blockbuster film came in 2017. It was ‘TZH’ that grossed over 500 crores globally. His 2015 release ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ grossed over 900 crores globally. He is a mega movie star with several blockbuster films. But his script selection from 2020 to 2023 has been terrible. His last few films such as Dabangg 3, Radhe, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan are terrible drama films that suit a young new actor, not Salman Khan who is hailed as one of the country’s biggest superstars. His last film ‘T3’ was one of the most awaited films of the year. It was predicted to gross over 800 crores globally. Though the film achieved success but didn’t perform to expectations. Also, the storyline, screenplay, and direction disappointed many.

    Thankfully, Salman has accepted his mistake after seeing the kind of reception Pathaan, Jawan, Salaar 1, and KGF 2 have received from the audience.

    Salman Khan is now looking to work with experienced big directors from the South Film Industry, collaborate with big producers, and sign interesting subjects. Sikandar is a big drama film with a strong script and a fresh story. Besides Sikandar, Salman Khan is discussing several big films. He has signed several big films in recent times. After Sikandar, his upcoming rumored films are Atlee’s next, Vishnu Vardhan’s next, Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2, Kick 2, and T vs P.

    T vs P is the dream project of Aditya Chopra. Aditya Chopra owns the YRF Universe which has delivered films like ETT, TZH, T3, Pathaan, and W1 led by Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan. The next film is from the Universe Alpha, a female film led by Alia Bhatt. YRF is also producing W2 which is under production. Pathaan 2 is confirmed too. And we might see T4 in some years. But it’s T vs P that would be a dream project for YRF as it will have India’s two biggest movie stars Salman and Shahrukh together for an entire film. And surely this will take several years to come in reality.

    Salman Khan is also discussing a film with Karan Johar. According to the reports, the film is titled ‘The Bull’ and it will be directed by Vishnu Vardhan (director of Shershaah). Salman Khan is also confirmed to star in Jawan director Atlee’s next. The rumored film will have two big movie stars, one from Bollywood and the other one from the Tamil Film Industry. Salman Khan and Kamal Hassan are rumored to star together in this film directed by Atlee.

    Salman is also looking to announce the sequel of his most loved and his most successful film ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. Kick 2 is also discussed.

     

  • Decoding The Salman Khan 3.0

    Salman Khan wants to make a big comeback

    Salman Khan is one of the biggest movie stars in India. He is a true superstar in the Bollywood Industry. Despite the setbacks he has somehow managed to stay at the top. But he has to be very watchful with his upcoming films. He has been blessed with a massive fan following in Asia. But his taste in his last few films has left his fans worried.

    In his 1.0, between 1989 and 2006. Salman Khan delivered quite a few box office hits. He was a popular star but not a superstar. He faced setbacks in 2006-2008 by delivering a few consecutive flops.

    But he changed his gears in 2008 and thus began the thrust of Salman Khan 2.0.

    In 2008 Salman Khan collaborated with director Prabhu Deva for Wanted. Upon its release, Wanted became a massive success at the box office. But nobody had expected that Wanted would happen to be Salman Khan’s turning point in his Bollywood career. Post Wanted Salman Khan understood that the audience wanted to see him massive entertainer and he started doing such films. Post Wanted every film he did was a massive hit at the box office. Films such as Dabangg, Ready, and Bodyguard. In between he always produced a film titled ‘Chillar Party’. Salman Khan won the National Award for Best Children’s Film for Chillar Party.

    In 2013 Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif starred together in Kabir Khan and YRF’s ETT. The romantic film was the highest-grossing film of the year and broke several box office records. ETT was the first instalment from YRF’s current film franchise the ‘Universe’. Which is the biggest and most successful film franchise in Bollywood. After ETT, Salman starred Dabangg 2, Kick and Prem Ratan Dhan Payo. All massively successful films at the box office.

    In 2015 Salman Khan collaborated with Kabir Khan for Bajrangi Bhaijaan which is the most special film for Salman Khan. His performance in Bajrangi Bhaijaan is been held as his career-best performance. Bajrangi Bhaijaan is considered one of the best Indian films to date and one of the biggest hits for Salman Khan grossing over 900+ crores. Bajrangi Bhaijaan even won the National Film Award for the most popular film with wholesome entertainment.

    Post Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Salman Khan starred in Sultan and TZH. Upon its release, Sultan and TZH opened to rave reviews and positive responses. By the end of its theatrical run, both films had emerged as blockbusters. But who knew it would be the end of giving blockbuster films for Salman Khan at the box office?

    Since 2018, Salman Khan has been struggling to hit a big box office such as his previous films Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Sultan, and TZH. He has been widely criticized for doing mediocre and nonsense films such as Radhe, Race 3, Dabangg 3, and Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. He has been advised by critics and fans to do big event films.

    In 2023, Bollywood saw a big change in terms of the perception of the audience. The audience no longer wants to see something average on the screen. Successful films of 2023 such as Pathaan, Jawan, and Animal showed that the audience now thus wants big high-octane films with a strong subject and story. Salman Khan’s Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan was released in 2023 to negative reviews. The film still did decent business because of Salman Khan’s superstardom. But it is considered a horrible film. In the same year, Salman Khan delivered his much-awaited T3. T3 was predicted to become one of the highest-grossing films of all time. However, the film received mixed reviews and did not perform as per expectations. Though the film did good business at the box office.

    Now after a series of constant average films, Salman Khan has once again changed gears and began his 3.0. He is now looking to do high-octane films with strong subjects or stories and work only with big filmmakers.

    Salman Khan has no release in 2024 as he is busy shooting Sikander. Sikander is an upcoming high-budget film starring Salman Khan. The makers of Sikander are pretty confident in terms of making the film. The film is a strong story and producer Sajid Nadiadwala is spending hundreds of crores on the lavishness of the film. The film is said to be shot in many international locations as well. The film is directed by A.R Murugadoss who is considered as one of the finest filmmakers of India and one of the biggest directors from the south. Sikander is expected to become a massive blockbuster when it releases. The star Rashmika Mandhana is the female lead.

    Besides Sikander, Salman Khan is set to collaborate with Karan Johar and Vishnu Vardhan. The film is titled ‘The B’. Vishnu Vardhan who directed Shershaah for Karan Johar will be directed by Salman Khan in The Bull. The film is still in pre-production and is expected to release in 2026. Salman Khan and Karan Johar are set to collaborate for the first time for a big full-fledged film.

    After Sikander and The B, Salman Khan is rumored to collaborate with Kabir Khan for an film. Salman Khan is also in the news for collaborating with popular director Atlee who directed one of the biggest hits of all time ‘Jawan’. According to the reports, Atlee is planning a two-hero big film with Salman Khan and a superstar from the south. If the reports are to be believed it’s either Rajinikanth or Fahadh Faasil with Salman Khan in Atlee’s next.

    In an event in 2021, Salman Khan confirmed that Bajrangi Bhaijaan 2 is planned too. So, the Salman Khan 3.0 looks good. He has quite a few promising films in the pipeline and he is working with big directors.
