Tough competition for a powerful villain in Salman Khan’s film?

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan’s upcoming film, directed by Vamshi Paidipally, is currently being shot at a fast pace in Mumbai with a grand star cast already creating strong buzz. The film is gaining attention not only for its scale but also for discussions around the selection of a powerful antagonist who can match Salman Khan’s screen presence.

Reports suggest that makers are considering Malayalam star Fahadh Faasil and Bollywood actor Akshaye Khanna for the pivotal villain role. With both actors known for their intense performances, the final choice has become a topic of interest. The film, produced by Dil Raju, also features Nayanthara as the female lead, Arvind Swamy in a key role, and Rajpal Yadav in an important character. Planned for a global release during Eid 2027, the movie is expected to be a high-octane blend of action, emotion, and style.
