Salman Khan In Mythri Movie Makers' Production Directed By Harish Shankar; Unusual Collab Excites Fans

Salman Khan's Next With Harish Shankar: After Tollywood started making big-budget, pan-India films with epic star cast, the scale and range of the productions have increased manifold. With the season of collaborations exciting the film buffs even better than the movie's content itself, another curious team up is now making headlines. Bollywood's Salman Khan, who hit the screens with an action-thriller directed by AR Murugadoss' Sikandar, is yet again collaborating with another south director, Harish Shankar. The popular production house, Mythri Movie Makers, is venturing into Bollywood with this production.

While not many details of this unusual but exciting collaboration are revealed, there are also several concerns over them given the success record of both the actor and director. Meanwhile, Mythri Movie Makers, who are venturing into Kollywood with Ajith Kumar and Adhik Ravichandran's 'Good Bad Ugly' are expanding their horizons with these pan-India multi-starrer films.

Harish Shankar, who is helming the tweaked remake of Thalapathy Vijay's 'Theri' as Ustaad Bhagat Singh with Pawan Kalyan, will proceed with the new film once he gets away with the ongoing schedules.
