Director Atlee to collaborate with Salman Khan for next film

• Director Atlee set to team up with Salman Khan for his next film
• Director worked on last project, Jawan with Shah Rukh Khan 
• Initially Telugu superstar Allu Arjun was the director's choice 

After a successful collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, director Atlee is set to team up with another Bollywood superstar, Salman Khan, for his next project. Salman was last seen in the film 'Tiger 3'.

Initially, Atlee aimed to work with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun, but the plan did not materialize as Arjun did not approve the project. Atlee then pitched a new idea to Salman Khan, who was enthusiastic about the proposal.

Reports indicate that Atlee's high fee was a concern for Geetha Arts, owned by Allu Arjun's father, Allu Aravind. With this hurdle, Atlee shifted his focus to Salman Khan.

Atlee is currently working on the script, and the film will be produced under the banner of Sun Pictures. The shooting is expected to commence next year, as Salman is currently engaged with the film 'Sikandar', directed by A.R. Murugadoss. 'Sikandar' is scheduled for an Eid 2025 release and is expected to wrap up production by March 2025.
