Action moves to Bandra streets
Salman Khan and Nayanthara are all set to take over Mumbai’s Bandra area for the next big schedule of their upcoming film with director Vamshi Paidipally. After wrapping up earlier portions in Manali and other locations, the team is now prepping for an outdoor shoot that promises to be nothing short of spectacular.
According to reports, the new schedule kicks off on June 10 and will see the leads come together for some high-energy action sequences. Think vehicle chases, close-quarter combat, and massive crowd setups — all against the real-life backdrop of a bustling metropolis. The makers have reportedly chosen Bandra because the scenes demand an authentic urban vibe, not a studio set.
A source close to the production reveals that the team plans to shoot sequences requiring the texture and scale of a busy city. This outdoor approach is expected to give the film a raw, grounded feel that fans haven’t seen from Salman in a while.
Salman and Nayanthara — a fresh pair to watch
While the film still doesn’t have an official title, speculation links it to the name The Messengers — though the makers haven’t confirmed anything yet. What we do know is that this action-drama is slated for an Eid 2027 release, continuing Salman’s long-standing tradition of festive blockbusters. The superstar himself hinted at this release window in a social media post, asking fans to be patient while promising more updates.
The pairing of Salman with Nayanthara has already created serious buzz. Nayanthara, who commands a massive fanbase down south, is making her big Bollywood collaboration with Bhai. The chemistry between the two is expected to be a major draw, especially with Vamshi Paidipally at the helm — a director known for blending mass appeal with emotional storytelling.
Earlier this year, the film had a brief schedule in Mumbai before moving to the snow-clad locales of Manali. Now that the team is back in the city, fans can expect glimpses of the shoot if they happen to be around the Bandra area. The production is reportedly keeping things tight-lipped, but a few behind-the-scenes leaks might just make their way online.
Also on Salman’s plate: Maatrubhumi
Apart from this untitled entertainer, Salman is also gearing up for Apoorva Lakhia’s war drama Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace. The film, inspired by the 2020 Galwan Valley clash, features Salman as Indian Army officer Colonel Santosh Babu. Chitrangada Singh co-stars in this intense project that focuses on courage, sacrifice, and patriotism.
With two major films in various stages of production, Salman is clearly not slowing down. The Mumbai schedule for the Paidipally project is expected to last several weeks, covering some of the most crucial action set-pieces of the film. Fans are already marking their calendars for Eid 2027, but before that, they’ll be keeping a close eye on those Bandra shooting spots.
As the shoot progresses, expect more updates — perhaps even a first-look poster or a title reveal. Until then, the buzz is real, and the excitement is only building.
