Salman Khan is presently busy shooting for his recently announced film Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai, which is poised for its theatrical release on Eid 2020. Before Radhe reaches cinemas next year, the superstar will be seen in his much-awaited cop drama Dabangg 3, which is scheduled to roll out in theatres on 20th December.
Besides Radhe: Your Most Wanted Bhai and Dabangg 3, Salman Khan has Sajid Nadiadwala’s next directorial Kick 2 in his pocket. But since the sequel to Kick (2014) is still at the script stage, it will take several months before hitting the shooting floor.
Meanwhile, the news is coming in that Salman Khan might team up with younger brother Sohail Khan for a film. Yes, you heard it absolutely right! According to latest reports, Salman Khan’s brother has registered the title Shuddhi for his upcoming production and directorial venture.
Shuddhi was reported to be one of the dream projects of Dharma Productions’ head honcho Karan Johar, which he had initially planned with Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor Khan. But when the duo opted out of the film for reasons best known to them, Salman Khan was roped in to play the lead role in it. However, according to sources, Sohail Khan now seems to have registered the title.
Earlier, filmmaker Karan Malhotra was set to helm the film for Dharma Productions. However, when Salman too walked out of the project, it went into cold storage. Later Karan Johar had confirmed that he would definitely make Shuddhi and he may even get Alia Bhatt and Varun Dhawan to topline the same.
Now, an industry insider has informed an entertainment portal that chances are high that Sohail Khan will make Shuddhi and he may even cast brother Salman Khan to play the lead role.
R Madhavan shares his experience portraying a father’s role for the first time alongside Ajay Devgn.
Actor addresses rumours about de-ageing technology, confirming he relied on diet and fitness instead.
Madhavan reflects on sequels and preparation for previous physically demanding roles like Saala Khadoos.
Nervous about a father’s role
At the trailer launch of De De Pyaar De 2, R Madhavan admitted he was initially nervous about playing Ajay Devgn’s on-screen father-in-law.
“I have never done a father’s role before, and competing with Ajay, I was very nervous,” Madhavan said. “I have seen other actors who are so busy when they come to the set, but Ajay sir is always present and dedicated. We have always felt connected.”
The actor also commented on the appeal of sequels. Devgn, who stars alongside Madhavan, stated, “I don’t mind sequels as long as there is a good script. I hope the film is liked by audiences. We all believe we have made a good film.”
Madhavan addressed recent rumours about de-ageing technology in his films, stating, “They’ve all been accusing me of de-ageing, but I don’t think I have the budget for that. It hasn’t happened.”
Instead, the actor relies on traditional methods of preparation, including fitness and diet adjustments, to meet the physical demands of roles.
Reflections on past roles
Madhavan reflected on the preparation for his earlier role in Saala Khadoos, a physically demanding sports drama. “When I went to train for Saala Khadoos, I consulted numerous dieticians and several people who advised me on how to lose weight and get fit, what diet to follow, what time to eat, and so on, but I couldn’t find anyone I truly resonated with,” he said.
The actor’s candid reflections reveal a focus on dedication and personal preparation rather than technological shortcuts, highlighting his commitment to authentic performances.
