According to reports, speculations, and rumors, there are strong possibilities that a southern filmmaker is Atlee, who might direct a Bollywood movie with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan himself in the lead. Stories doing the rounds added that Salman, along with his brother, actor-filmmaker Arbaaz Khan, was reportedly seen at a meeting recently with Atlee to discuss the project. This is what has been said.

It's a rumor that Atlee, Salman, and I met together. In my life, I have not met Atlee at any time. I have not even met him, and same old, same old." Arbaaz said this while talking to the leading daily.

Atlee, who has previously directed Shah Rukh Khan in "Jawan," sent a kind of teaser when he posted "En route: Salman" with a picture of him and Salman.

Quizzing Arbaaz on a potential Dabangg 4 after the mixed performance of "Dabangg 3," he shared, "Right now, both of us are consumed with the projects at hand."Salman, being Salman, for sure knows he has to do 'Dabangg 4,' and so do I. We will make it when we have to make it. I don't know if I will direct it; I would like to, but that's not decided."

Arbaaz, last seen in the 2023 film Farrey, recently made headlines for tying the knot with makeup artist Shura Khan. Salman, on the other hand, was last seen in Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3, with a cameo appearance in Pathaan.
