Atlee confirms collaboration with Salman Khan
Following the historic success of Jawan, director Atlee is gearing up for his next major project, tentatively titled A6.
The filmmaker has hinted at a “bang-on” announcement soon and confirmed that the film will be led by Salman Khan.
Atlee is reportedly trying to orchestrate a casting coup by bringing on board either Rajinikanth or Kamal Haasan to create one of Indian cinema’s biggest spectacles.
Currently, Atlee is busy with his debut production Baby John, which is set to release during Christmas 2024.
During a recent media conversation, Atlee was joined by his producer partner Murad Khetani and the film’s leading star Varun Dhawan.
When asked for updates on A6, Atlee shared, “A6 is something that consumes a lot of time and energy. We have almost finished the script, and we are in the prep stage. Soon, a bang-on announcement will happen with God’s blessing.”
On Salman Khan’s involvement, Atlee offered a subtle confirmation. “Definitely, I am going to surprise everyone with the casting. What you are thinking, yes (that’s true). But you are going to really get surprised. And I’m not being pompous, but it’s going to be the proudest film of our country. We want a lot of blessings, just pray for us. The casting is on the edge, and it’s going to happen in a few weeks. We will have the best, best, best announcement coming soon to you all,” he added.
