Post that, Salman has another interesting film, which has been tentatively titled SVC63. The Bollywood actor made an official announcement about this movie on social media. He has collaborated with director Vamshi Paidipally and producer Dil Raju. Nayanthara plays the female lead. But who is the villain? Well, Akshaye Khanna and Fahadh Faasil are apparently in consideration for the same.

Akshaye Khanna or Fahadh Faasil - Who is SVC63's villain?

According to Mid Day, Vamshi Paidipally has completed shooting for SVC63's first schedule. The makers are reportedly planning to shoot the next schedule in Manali. Following the same, the Hyderabad schedule might begin. However, the makers are likely to finalise the villain before the Hyderabad schedule. Dil Raju and Vamshi are apparently in talks with both Akshaye and Fahadh."The script demands someone who can stand toe-to-toe with Salman," a source said. Since both Fahadh and Akshaye bring different energies, the makers are reportedly taking time before finalising one actor. The report further suggests that the team earlier considered Arvind Swamy too.

It further states that the face-off portions between Salman and the antagonist might be shot during the Hyderabad leg. For the uninitiated, this film marks Salman's first collaboration with Nayanthara. In fact, it is his first project with the director and producer as well. SVC63 has been scheduled for a grand theatrical release on Eid 2027.Earlier, while announcing SVC63's release date, Salman revealed why the film will release next year. "Thoda durr ki sochna chahiye, That’s why announced Eid….. Don’t worry iss wali ka bhi bataenge, when the time is right……," he wrote on Instagram.

Salman Khan's work front

On the work front, Salman's movie, Maatrubhumi, was scheduled to release in theatres in April. However, the makers have postponed it, and a new release date is awaited. The project was earlier titled Battle of Galwan and was based on the Galwan Valley clash between Indian and Chinese soldiers.

The actor's last big screen release was AR Murugadoss' Sikandar with Rashmika Mandanna.
