Léon: The Professional.Recent reports claim that the movie is expected to release in two parts. A source told
Bollywood Hungama, "Both
King and
Love And War are big-budget spectacles and have gone beyond what was on paper when it comes to the cost of production. As
Dhurandhar has set a trend, both SRK and Bhansali are individually contemplating splitting their epics into two parts and releasing them in a gap of less than 6 months."An official release date announcement is still awaited.Reportedly, King Khan has several unconfirmed projects in the pipeline, including
Pushpa-fame Sukumar’s next. However, if confirmed, the film is expected to target a 2027 release.
Battle Of Galwan Loading!Salman's
Battle of Galwan is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious war dramas in the pipeline. Based on the real-life clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley, the film promises a hard-hitting portrayal of courage, sacrifice and military grit. With a strong focus on intense action sequences and emotional depth, the project aims to honour the bravery of Indian soldiers while capturing the high-altitude tensions of the historic confrontation.
As anticipation builds,
Battle of Galwan is being closely watched as a potential comeback for Salman, who has been going through a dull phase in his career. The film is directed by Apoorva Lakhia, known for
Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (2010), Mission Istanbul: Darr Ke Aagey Jeet Hai! (2008), among others. Its teaser was recently unveiled by the makers, further fuelling excitement among fans. Also starring Chitrangda Singh, the film is slated for release on April 17, 2026.

Bhaijaan has several other films in his kitty. Earlier, during a chat with
Zoom, he said, "I am doing a film called
Bull. Then, there's
Dabangg (4), Kick (2), Sooraj Barjatya's... I have 3 to 4 films." However, none of these films have officially gone on the floors yet.
