Filmmaker Atlee, known for the success of ‘Jawan’ starring Shah Rukh Khan, has been in talks for his next major production, tentatively titled ‘A6,’ with Salman Khan in the lead. The project, which has generated industry buzz, is reportedly a high-budget film with a unique blend of period drama and reincarnation themes. However, conflicting reports suggest the film may not be moving forward as expected.
Discussions surrounding ‘A6’ indicate an estimated budget of Rs 500 crore, positioning it as one of the most expensive Indian films. Reports suggest that Atlee was considering veteran stars Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth for a pivotal role opposite Salman Khan. While pre-production had been underway, rumors indicate that the project has either been delayed or shelved, with no official confirmation from the director or Salman Khan regarding its status.
According to industry sources, Salman had started preparations for his role, focusing on physique transformation to meet the film’s character requirements. Despite significant interest, reports from Masala.com claim that ‘A6’ has been put on hold, with no clarity on whether the film will resume production in the near future.
Amid speculation surrounding ‘A6,’ Salman Khan is moving forward with his next major project, ‘Sikandar.’ Directed by AR Murugadoss, the action-packed film is expected to be a significant release in 2026. The cast includes Rashmika Mandanna, Kajal Aggarwal, Sathyaraj, Sharman Joshi, and Prateik Babbar in key roles.
