Salman Khan is reportedly preparing for his next project with the filmmaker duo Raj & DK. According to the latest developments, Kareena Kapoor Khan is set to be the leading lady of this superhero movie. If confirmed, the film will reunite one of Bollywood's most beloved on-screen pairs.
Kareena Kapoor Khan Emerges as Frontrunner for Raj & DK's Salman Khan Superhero Film
According to a report from Variety India, Kareena Kapoor Khan is in advanced discussions with the filmmaker duo Raj & DK to star opposite Salman Khan in their upcoming untitled superhero project. While Kareena has not formally signed the contract yet, she has reportedly responded enthusiastically to her role and verbally committed her interest. Salman Khan is said to have personally reached out to accelerate the conversation, a move that places her firmly ahead of other reported candidates, including Samantha Ruth Prabhu.
Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's Reunion
If the deal goes through, this would mark Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan's fifth on-screen collaboration and their first since Kabir Khan's 2015 blockbuster 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan'. Their earlier pairings in films like 'Kyon Ki', 'Main Aur Mrs Khanna', and 'Bodyguard' are widely remembered by fans. The two reportedly share a strong personal rapport and have tried to work together again for years, making this project a long-awaited reunion.
More About the Raj & DK Film
The yet-untitled film, produced by Atul Agnihotri and Mythri Movie Makers, will see Salman playing a never-seen-before avatar as he steps into the role of an ageing superhero who is drawn back into action by circumstances beyond his control, eventually leading him into a larger conflict. Envisioned on a massive scale, the project promises Raj & DK's signature blend of sharp humour and stylised action. Salman Khan is expected to begin shooting around October–November 2026, after wrapping up Vamshi Paidipally's action entertainer, currently filming in Mumbai for an Eid 2027 release. The Raj & DK superhero film will also mark the duo's theatrical comeback nearly a decade after 'A Gentleman' (2017).
