Salman Khan And Nayanthara Begin Shoot For Dil Raju’s Action Entertainer: Report

Salman Khan and Nayanthara’s upcoming film, currently called SVC 63, is one of the most anticipated projects of the year, and now fans of both superstars can rejoice as the shooting for Dil Raju’s film has finally kicked off. Touted to be an action thriller, the movie is said to be directed by Vamshi Paidipally.

Soon, the team will hold a pooja, which will be attended by producer Dil Raju as well. As per Variety India, the first schedule of the film will kick off at the SRPF Ground in Goregaon, with an extensive three-month shoot schedule planned across Mumbai. The report suggests that the makers are aiming to wrap the principal photography of the film by August–September 2026, with the film finally hitting theatres during Eid 2027.

While this

is the first time that Vamshi Paidipally is directing Bollywood superstar Salman Khan, he has delivered several blockbuster hits, including Yevadu (2014), Oopiri (2016), Maharshi (2019), and Varisu (2023).

Recently, the makers announced that Nayanthara will be seen in the lead role. In the caption, the makers called Nayanthara “queen” and expressed that the upcoming project is “something truly special”. “The Queen Arrives The epitome of versatility and excellence @nayanthara joins #SalmanKhanVamshiPaidipallyFilm. It’s an honour to have You on board for something truly special that’s underway,” they wrote.

Meanwhile, Salman Khan is also tied up with the final touch-ups for his upcoming film Maatrubhumi, formerly titled Battle of Galwan. As per a Mid-day report, “At this stage, after making the necessary changes, the team is trying to understand what would be the next steps to ensure its smooth release. No department, whether the Ministry of Defence, the Army, or the CBFC, has seen the film yet.” The source further added that while the writers have not rewritten the entire film from scratch, “Now, the makers have shifted the film’s focus to family and relationships, making it a human drama. That said, a bit of the war portions have been retained. But if you remove references to China and Galwan, what is the conflict about? That’s the central question they’re grappling with.”

Earlier, the film was slated to release in April 2026. However, due to several changes, the makers decided to cancel the April release. It was later rumoured that the film might arrive in theatres in May 2026, but with the latest revisions, that now seems unlikely. The team is yet to announce a new release date.
