In 1998, Salman Khan made an elaborate appearance Karan Johar in his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. It’s been 25 years since, but Salman never actually made a movie for Dharma Productions. The two forces almost came together to team up twice in the last 10 years – one on Shuddhi, which was to be directed by Karan Malhotra with Salman and Kareena, and the second time as a producer on Kesari. However, both conversations did not result in a feature film.

Salman Khan and Karan Johar first met in October 2022

And now, reduced to October 2022, Karan approached Salman with a sweet human drama with a young director. “It was a father-daughter story and Salman had two meetings with Karan, but eventually the call was put on hold because Salman wasn’t really looking for a human drama at the time. He checked with Karan if he could come back with something bigger,” revealed a source close to the development.

In January 2023, Karan fulfilled his promise to return to Salman with another feature film, this time with Vishnu Vardhan of SherShaah fame as the director. “They met for the first time in January 2023 and since then about 10 to 12 meetings have taken place between Salman, Vishnu and Karan. They have discussed various aspects and the talks are still ongoing. However, nothing is in writing, all three parties are working to make this collaboration possible,” the source added.

There is a rumor that the film in question could be Salman’s Eid 2024 offering to the public. However, we confirm that if the movie happened at all, it wouldn’t be an Eid release. “It is a large-scale film and requires a lot of work. If Salman agrees to make the film, it will go into the pre-production and casting phase, which would take 2 to 3 months. The earliest it could go on floors is November 2023. So there’s no chance it’s an Eid release. Once things become reality, the team will take a step towards a release date decision,” the source concluded. Vishnuvardhan is currently working on a Tamil film, which is expected to be released in late 2023.

Tiger 3 expires at the end of May

Salman is currently preparing for Tiger 3’s final schedule in which he will see a reunion with Shah Rukh Khan. He’d probably take a call about the Dharma movie if he calls it a wrap on Tiger 3 at the end of May. “The timelines for Tiger v/s Pathaan will also be clear by then. He would also get his lineup based on Tiger v/s Pathaan as most of the movie will have pairing dates with Shah Rukh Khan. Both SRK and Salman are working together to decide on their shooting timelines for the future.”
