Debutant Zaheer Iqbal’s The Notebook to mount floors in September

A few months ago, Salman Khan had announced on his Twitter handle that after completing the debut film of his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma, he would launch another debutant Zaheer Iqbal under his banner.

Keeping his promise, the superstar is now gearing up to roll the film in September. Titled The Notebook, the movie will be helmed by filmmaker Nitin Kakkar. Besides Khan, producers Murad Khetani and Ashwin Varde will also co-produce the venture.


We hear director Nitin Kakkar is currently in Kashmir on location hunting. As soon as he locks the locations, the entire team will fly to the Valley to begin the shoot. The makers are planning to wrap up the whole film in a start-to-finish schedule of two months.

Reportedly, The Notebook will be a romantic film. Zaheer is training hard these days so that he could do justice to his role in the flick. He is also sweating it out in the gym to get a perfect shape.

“He is a good dancer and the shoot is most likely to start with a song sequence. A new face will be launched opposite Zaheer but the team is keeping her under wraps at the moment.” a source revealed.

The board gave the green light on 22 April, with the decision disclosed in an SEC filing the next day.
There is no expiry date on the programme. It comes on top of an existing December 2024 buyback that still had $6.8 billion left as of 31 March.

Earlier this year, Netflix pulled out of an $83 billion deal to acquire Warner Bros' streaming and studio assets after Paramount Skydance made a rival bid for Warner Bros. Discovery. Paramount then paid Netflix a $2.8 billion exit fee.

Co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters had already said the company would restart share buybacks once the deal was off.

Netflix shares have had a rough ride. They hit an all-time high of $134.12 in June 2025, then fell more than 40 per cent when the Warner Bros deal was announced.
