Salman Khan and Atlee’s Action Film Release in 2026

Salman Khan is currently deeply involved in the production of his upcoming film, Sikandar. As he works toward wrapping up this project, he is also preparing for an exciting new venture with acclaimed director Atlee Kumar. This upcoming film will feature the legendary Kamal Haasan alongside Khan, and early reports suggest that this high-octane action thriller is set to hit theaters in the latter half of 2026.

Salman Khan, known for his tradition of releasing films around Eid, will break from this pattern in 2026. He is concentrating on completing Sikandar by the end of this year and will then shift his focus to his collaboration with Atlee Kumar. Contrary to initial expectations, this new film, which promises to be a major blockbuster, will not be ready for Eid 2026. Instead, Shah Rukh Khan is set to release his action-packed film, King, during the festive season.

Sources close to the production reveal that Salman Khan aims to finalize Sikandar by December 2024 and will begin filming with Atlee Kumar in 2025. The film will be shot throughout the year, with an extended post-production period for visual effects, leading to its anticipated release in the latter part of 2026. This schedule has been well-anticipated in industry circles, prompting a series of announcements about forthcoming projects.

In addition to Shah Rukh Khan’s King and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s upcoming film, Love and War, which are both expected to be released around Eid directed by Kumar and featuring Salman Khan and Kamal Haasan is creating a lot of excitement. A source earlier this year indicated to Pinkvilla that this project is a grand two-hero venture requiring top-tier stars. Both Khan and Haasan have shown enthusiasm for the project and have given their preliminary agreement, with final contracts set to be signed once they review the complete storyline later this month.

With Atlee Kumar’s recent success with Jawan, the anticipation for his new film with Salman Khan and Kamal Haasan is palpable. Fans are eagerly looking forward to this action-packed collaboration and are excited to see how this promising project will unfold on the big screen.
