Mumbai: Bollywood star Salman Khan is preparing one of the most extensive film line-ups of his career, with nearly eight to ten projects planned through 2028 according reports.
Spanning war dramas, large-scale action films, and franchise sequels, the slate is being developed under Salman Khan Films (SKF) along with several prominent collaborators across the Indian film industry.
The first major project in this line-up is Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace, directed by Apoorva Lakhia and featuring Chitrangda Singh. The film is based on the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, a significant military confrontation between Indian and Chinese forces. Originally titled Battle of Galwan, the film's release has been rescheduled and is now expected to arrive in theatres on May 15.
Alongside this, Khan has confirmed a new collaboration with National Award-winning director Vamshi Paidipally and producer Dil Raju. The project, described as a high-budget action entertainer with pan-India appeal, began production in April 2026 and is aiming for a festive Eid 2027 release. Actor Arvind Swamy is also reported to be part of the cast.
Several other projects are in various stages of development. Kick 2, a sequel to the 2014 blockbuster, is currently in pre-production and will reunite Khan with producer Sajid Nadiadwala. In addition, Khan is in early discussions with filmmakers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna D.K. for a potential action-comedy, with filming expected to begin by late 2026 if finalised.
One of the most anticipated projects in the pipeline is Tiger vs Pathaan, which is expected to bring together Khan and Shah Rukh Khan under the banner of Yash Raj Films. The film, likely to be directed by Siddharth Anand, is part of the studio's expanding spy universe and is projected for release around 2027 or later.
Additional films in development include Dabangg 4 and a collaboration with filmmaker Sooraj Barjatya, further strengthening Khan's long-term slate. Industry estimates suggest that the total number of projects in different stages of production and planning could reach up to ten.
Apart from acting, Khan is also playing a key role as a producer, shaping the creative and commercial direction of many of these films through SKF. His increasing collaborations with filmmakers from South India reflect a broader trend of cross-industry partnerships within Indian cinema, aimed at creating content with wider national reach.
Recently, Khan was also seen at the anniversary celebrations of the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre in Mumbai, highlighting his continued presence in major cultural and industry events alongside his expanding film commitments.
