Released in 2014, Kick, an action comedy, marked Nadiadwala’s directorial debut. The film also featured Jacqueliene Fernandez, Randeep Hooda and Nawazuddin Siddiqui. It was the official remake of the eponymous 2009 Telugu original. 

Tiger vs Pathaan 

According to IANS, Tiger Vs Pathaan was set to go on floors in 2024. A source informed, "Aditya Chopra is going to keep all details under the wraps because this is the biggest ever Bollywood film that the industry has attempted to make in a long, long time. It is not every day that you get India's biggest superstars SRK and Salman in one film." Tiger vs Pathaan will reportedly be directed by Siddharth Anand, who brought Salman and Shah Rukh together in Pathaan. 

Salman Khan's next with Atlee 

Atlee made a power-packed debut in Hindi cinema with the ox office winner 'Jawan' featuring Shah Rukh Khan in a double role last year. While the Tamil filmmaker is known for his larger-than-life presentation of his heroes and double roles, it seems like the filmmaker is all set to set the box office on fire with his next. Bringing the best of Indian cinema, Atlee has reportedly managed to pull a major casting coup. If reports are to be believed his next with star Salman Khan and Kamal Haasan. To add to the excitement, the two actors will be pitted against each other.

Rohit Shetty's cop universe film

After Salman's cameo in Singham Again, Rohit Shetty told India Today, "These are two IPs (intellectual properties) that have never met. If all goes well, and the audience likes what we make...This has never been done before, and it’s something new for everyone. Also, Chulbul is not in the universe, nor is Singham going there. It will be two IPs and two universes meeting for one individual film. This will be a standalone film, not where everyone comes together. It will definitely take a lot of time to make."

Bull

Salman Khan will reportedly be seen playing the role of Brigadier Farukh Bulsara in his next film titled Bull. The Bollywood superstar is undergoing rigorous physical training to look the part for this film.

Bull directed by Vishnu Varadhan, and produced by Dharma Productions, presents a retelling of Operation Cactus wherein the Indian Armed Forces, on November 3, 1988, assisted the Maldives in reclaiming control following a coup attempt led by businessman Abdullah Luthufi and the People’s Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE). The Indian forces efficiently neutralised the mercenaries and restored control to President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom’s government within hours.
