Salman Khan’s film with Vamsi Paidipally to kick off with a vintage song

Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is all set to begin work on his highly anticipated film with acclaimed director Vamshi Paidipally , and the project will kick off in style. The makers have reportedly planned a vintage-themed song as the first sequence to be filmed, giving the film a nostalgic and celebratory start. The stylish opening is expected to set the tone for what promises to be a grand commercial entertainer.

The shoot will begin on April 18 in Mumbai , where the team has constructed a specially designed grand house set for the elaborate song sequence. The opening schedule will run until May 4 , with the production focusing on filming the song and key introductory moments. Industry insiders say the sequence will present Salman Khan in a striking new avatar, packed with energetic choreography and retro vibes.

Adding massive star power to the project is South Indian superstar Nayanthara , who has been roped in as the female lead. This film will mark the first on-screen collaboration between Salman Khan and Nayanthara, making it one of the most exciting cross-industry pairings in recent times. After gaining nationwide popularity with her Bollywood appearance in Jawan , Nayanthara’s presence in the film has already heightened fan expectations.

The yet-untitled project is being produced by Tollywood producer Dil Raju under the banner Sri Venkateswara Creations . The collaboration brings together Bollywood star power and South Indian filmmaking expertise, raising curiosity about the scale and vision of the film.

Industry buzz also suggests that veteran actor Anil Kapoor and actor Arvind Swamy may appear in key roles, although the makers are yet to officially confirm the full cast. If the reports turn out to be true, the film could feature an impressive ensemble alongside Salman Khan.

Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, known for delivering successful commercial entertainers in the South, the film is expected to be mounted as a large-scale pan-India action drama . Trade circles are already buzzing with speculation that the makers are eyeing a grand Eid 2027 release , a festive window traditionally dominated by Salman Khan at the box office.
