Salman Khan signs action thriller with Dil Raju and Vamshi Paidipally; shoot begins April 2026
Salman Khan has signed a new action thriller to be produced by Dil Raju and directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Vamshi Paidipally. Production on the yet-to-be-titled film is expected to begin in April 2026.
The project is understood to be mounted on a large scale and will feature a sizeable ensemble cast drawn from both the Hindi and South Indian film industries. Discussions are currently underway with an A-list actor for the female lead, although the final casting has yet to be confirmed.
According to industry sources, Khan was particularly drawn to the film’s commercial appeal and action-driven narrative. The story is described as a high-octane thriller with an emotional core, with Paidipally reportedly planning to present the actor in a new on-screen avatar with a distinct look.
