"She has responded enthusiastically to the role."
Kareena Kapoor Khan is reportedly in final discussions to star in Salman Khan’s highly anticipated untitled superhero film.
The actress has expressed significant enthusiasm for the script after personal encouragement from the leading man himself.
This ambitious cinematic project marks a massive reunion for the two stars after 11 years
They were last seen together in the 2015 blockbuster Bajrangi Bhaijaan, which received global critical acclaim.
An industry source provided an update on the progress of these high-profile casting conversations.
They said: “Talks are moving in a positive direction and that she has responded enthusiastically to the role.”
Fans have long awaited the return of this iconic pair, who first worked together in Kyon Ki.
Their professional history also includes the romantic comedy Main Aur Mrs Khanna and the action-packed Bodyguard.
Salman Khan reportedly personally contacted the actress to discuss the creative potential of this new superhero narrative.
There was previous speculation linking Samantha Ruth Prabhu to the lead role before these latest reports emerged.
However, the celebrated Kareena Kapoor Khan now appears to be the primary choice for this big-budget venture.
Atul Agnihotri is producing the film alongside the established banner Mythri Movie Makers.
It is set to be directed by the visionary duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, who are known as Raj & DK.
The story reportedly focuses on an ageing hero who is pulled back into the fray by sudden events.
This unique take aims to move away from the standard tropes often found in typical comic book movies.
Pre-production is already well underway with a dedicated focus on cutting-edge visual effects.
Filming is expected to begin in either October or November of 2026, according to recent production schedules.
Salman Khan is currently tied up with several other massive projects before he steps into this hero role.
He is busy filming an action drama with Vamshi Paidipally, which is currently under the working title SVC63.
That particular film is currently scheduled to arrive in cinemas for the Eid 2027 holiday period.
His other project, titled Maatrubhumi, is still awaiting a confirmed release date after facing multiple production delays.
Kareena Kapoor Khan is also preparing for the release of her upcoming investigative thriller titled Daayra.
This film is directed by the acclaimed Meghna Gulzar and is expected to hit theatres later this year.
The prospect of her reuniting with Salman Khan has created immense buzz among the global film audience.
Many industry experts believe this collaboration will result in a significant box office success for all involved.
