Salman Khan in talks for Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s next backed by Excel Entertainment
Salman Khan is in advanced discussions to collaborate with director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra on a new feature film to be produced by Excel Entertainment, the banner led by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani. The project, which has been under quiet development for several months, would mark Khan’s first association with the production house.
According to industry sources, Mehra has narrated the script to Khan, who has responded positively to the concept. While the actor has not yet signed the film, talks are said to be progressing steadily, with scheduling and contractual details currently being worked through.
The film is expected to be mounted on a large scale, in keeping with Mehra’s reputation for visually ambitious storytelling and Excel Entertainment’s track record of high‑profile productions. However, neither the studio nor the director has issued an official announcement, and details regarding the genre, cast and production timeline remain under wraps.
