After the blockbuster success of Jawan, director Atlee is teaming up with Salman Khan for a mega-budget reincarnation action drama, tentatively titled A6. Spanning two eras—past and present—the film promises a breathtaking period setup and Salman in a never-before-seen warrior avatar.
After the massive success of Jawan, Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster collaboration with Atlee, the director is now gearing up for his next big project—a mega-budget film starring Salman Khan. The project, tentatively titled A6, has already sparked widespread excitement among fans. Adding to the buzz, Atlee is reportedly in talks to cast either Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth alongside Salman Khan, creating what could be one of the biggest casting coups in Indian cinema. While the second lead is yet to be finalized, the combination of Salman Khan and Atlee has become a hot topic in the industry.
According to a report by Pinkvilla, Atlee’s next film will be a reincarnation action drama, spanning two distinct eras—past and present. A source close to the development revealed, “Atlee has been working on a mega-budget reincarnation drama for the last year, which is set in two distinct eras. The filmmaker is looking to have a strong, never-seen-before period setup with breathtaking visuals of a fictional world. It’s going to be Salman Khan presented like never before in the avatar of a warrior in the period era, whereas the present-era dynamics have been kept under wraps for now. The focus of the film will be more towards the period portions than the present, as the script demands more drama and conflict in the fictional fantasy world. All the characters will be interlinked from past and present.”
The film is set to go on floors by Summer 2025, as Atlee is currently fine-tuning the script and preparing for an elaborate pre-production phase. “It’s an ambitious film with Atlee looking to create a new world for cinema-goers, packed with action, drama, thrills, and emotion. He is confident of locking one of the two legends—Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth—for the parallel lead,” added the source.
