Salman Khan Teams Up With Raj & DK For High-Concept Superhero Film; Shoot Begins October 2026

Salman Khan is finally diving into the superhero space. As Per Pinkvilla reports the superstar is set to start Raj & DK’s untitled high-concept action entertainer in October 2026. The project marks Salman’s first collaboration with the acclaimed director duo behind The Family Man and Stree. With pre-production underway, the film gears up to go on floors later next year. This will be Salman’s next big theatrical after his 2025 Eid release.

The film is being produced by Atul Agnihotri under Reel Life Production. Talks are currently on with Mythri Movie Makers, the powerhouse behind Pushpa and Salaar, to come on board as studio partners. If locked, this would give the project massive pan-India backing and scale. Sources describe it as a high-concept superhero film blended with Raj & DK’s signature action-comedy tone. For Salman, it’s a fresh genre shift after mass actioners like Tiger 3 and Sikandar.

Raj & DK are known for subverting genres and building unique universes. Their pairing with Salman Khan hints at a grounded, massy yet quirky take on the superhero template. The October 2026 start gives the team nearly a year for VFX, design, and world-building before shoot. Salman is expected to undergo a new look and physical prep for the part. The film is being mounted as a big-screen theatrical experience targeting 2027 release.

If sealed, the Salman-Raj & DK-Mythri combo becomes one of the most intriguing pan-India projects. It merges Salman’s superstar pull with the directors’ storytelling and Mythri’s scale. More details on the title, co-stars, and plot are awaited. For now, Salman Khan’s October 2026 date is locked for this superhero turn. Bollywood’s Bhai finally gets his cape.
