Action-Packed Schedule: Salman Khan and Nayanthara Set to Film High-Octane Sequences in Bandra
The next major production phase for Salman Khan and Nayanthara’s highly anticipated cinematic collaboration is officially locked for Mumbai. According to an exclusive report by Mid-Day, the lead pair will kick off a grueling outdoor schedule starting June 10, 2026, with a sharp focus on executing the film’s core stunt pieces. The massive project is being directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Vamshi Paidipally, known for hits like Maharshi and Varisu, and is bankrolled by blockbuster producer Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations. This film marks a historic milestone as the first-ever on-screen pairing of Bollywood superstar Salman Khan and South Indian cinema’s “Lady Superstar” Nayanthara.
The upcoming leg of production moves away from scenic landscapes and dives right into the heart of Mumbai’s bustling coastal hub. Filmmakers have deliberately chosen multiple realistic, outdoor locations in and around Bandra to tap into the raw grit, architecture, and texture of an urban setting. Insiders reveal that the upcoming sequences involving both Salman and Nayanthara will feature complex vehicle-based action, high-speed chases, close-quarter combat, and heavy crowd-coordination logistics. A massive chunk of this schedule is dedicated to a signature solo action set-piece for Salman Khan, which a source shared begins as a pursuit and gradually escalates into a massive confrontation.
Principal photography for the film originally began in April 2026, and the crew recently wrapped up an intensive filming stint in the rugged terrains of Manali. The makers are mounting this commercial entertainer on a massive global scale, aiming for a grand Eid 2027 theatrical release. The untitled project is already tracking as a major trade favorite, successfully uniting key creative powerhouses from both the Hindi and South Indian film industries. Fans won’t have to wait too much longer for more updates, as an official title drop and character first-looks are expected to be unveiled soon.
