While
Salman
Khan
has
several
films
in
the
pipeline,
the
actor
reportedly
is
in
talks
with
acclaimed
director
Rajkumar
Gupta
for
an
action
thriller.
The
story
is
set
to
be
written
by
Rajkumar
Gupta
himself
based
on
an
incredible
true
event
from
the
pages
of
Indian
history.
A
source
close
to
the
development
told
Pinkvilla
that
Salman
already
loved
the
world
created
by
Gupta.
"Rajkumar
Gupta
has
been
in
conversations
with
Salman
and
his
team
for
a
while
now
and
things
seem
to
have
finally
fallen
in
place.
Salman
has
loved
the
world
that
Gupta
has
created
and
is
very
eager
to
explore
it
soon.
The
two
are
in
advanced
talks
for
this
project,
in
fact,
if
everything
goes
as
planned,
the
director
will
jump
into
the
pre-production
stage
within
the
next
2
months,"
added
the
source.
The
report
also
revealed
that
Gupta
had
been
working
on
the
script
in
the
lockdown
and
had
multiple
meetings
with
Salman.
Calling
it
the
filmmaker's
pet
project,
he
added
that
the
film
is
a
"thriller
with
bits
of
action
in
the
narrative
that
stems
from
the
screenplay."
Talking
about
the
film,
the
insider
told
the
portal,
"The
story,
centered
around
the
protagonist,
demands
the
presence
of
a
superstar
with
a
certain
amount
of
aura,
and
there's
no
one
better
than
Salman
to
pull
off
this
flamboyant
character.
It
marries
content
with
action,
drama
and
most
importantly,
thrills."
Meanwhile,
Salman
Khan
is
set
to
resume
shooting
for
Tiger
3,
following
which
he
will
be
shooting
for
Sajid
Nadiadwala
production,
Kabhi
Eid
Kabhi
Diwali
directed
by
Farhad
Samji.
The
film's
tentative
title
has
been
revealed
as
Bhaijaan.
According
to
reports,
Salman
is
also
in
the
midst
of
finalising
the
Hindi
version
of
Thalapathy
Vijay's
recent
release,
Master.
The
actor
is
currently
waiting
on
the
reworked
script
before
finalising
the
paperwork.
The
insider
revealed
that
if
Salman
decides
to
move
forward
with
Master
remake,
it
will
be
after
Gupta's
action-thriller.
"Salman
is
still
waiting
for
the
creative
team
of
Master
to
come
up
with
a
story
draft
for
Hindi
sensibilities.
While
he
has
loved
the
character
of
JD,
he
has
asked
the
makers
to
draft
a
completely
fresh
screenplay,
as
he
isn't
too
keen
on
doing
an
outright
remake
at
the
moment.
The
rewriting
process
will
take
time
and
he
will
take
a
call
based
on
how
the
final
script
shapes
up,"
the
source
concluded.
