Bollywood’s numero uno actor Salman Khan is currently promoting his Eid offering Bharat. His next release after the Ali Abbas Zafar directorial is Dabangg 3, which is slated to open in cinemas on December 20.

Post July, the 53-year-old will start shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Inshallah, in which he stars opposite the 26-year-old Alia Bhatt. This film is meant to be his Eid 2020 release. Despite such a chock-a-block schedule, the industry folk and fans alike are wondering about Salman’s next venture.

Ali is said to be working on the script of Tiger 3 — a sequel to Ek Tha Tiger (2012) and Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) for the Dabangg Khan. However, the superstar says it is wrong to assume that he will definitely do the third part of the espionage thriller franchise after he finishes SLB’s film. “I’ve come across some very interesting scripts,” he tells us. He adds further, “I may do one of those before I start Tiger 3.”

When we quiz him about the rumour that Rohit Shetty and he may collaborate, SK quips, “Why is it a rumour? Rohit and I have talked about working together. There is nothing definite yet. If our talks materialise into something, you’ll hear about it.” Hmmm... the suspense on whether the Simmba director and the Race 3 actor collaborate in the near future continues. However, we can just say that the speculation is not completely unfounded.

SUPERHIT MACHINE MEETS DABANGG KHAN
Rohit Shetty has previously directed Salman Khan for the promos of Bigg Boss Season 8. In the campaign, the Dabangg Khan played a pilot. One of the ads had Salman lying on the conveyor belt and talking about the contestants.
