Recent Tamil flick, 'Master' starring Thalapathy Vijay and Vijay Sethupathi was a box office success even after releasing amidst the pandemic. Soon after the release, there were plans for the Hindi adaptation of the story with 'Kabir Singh' producers Murad Khetani and Endemol Shine bankrolling the projects. The makers have now started making casting decisions for the maine characters and Salman has been approached to play the protagonist in the film. Makers wanted someone with larger than life screen presence which is why they considered Salman.

A source told Pinkvilla, Salman’s aura and personality suits best for the role of Master, and that’s exactly what the makers also felt. The discussions are in the very nascent stage, and Salman will take his decision on doing or not doing the film only after hearing the screenplay narration. The team of Master is currently working on the rewriting the script – tweaking the second half of the original, and editing the rather longer portions to keep the runtime in check in Hindi. The next narration with Salman is expected to take place in a couple of months.

The source further shared, “If everything falls in place, Master will be Salman’s next after KEKD and go on the floors around the month of February/March next year. Apart from Master, he is reading a couple of more subjects, to block the date in Q1 of 2022.
