Tiger vs Pathaan will reportedly be directed by Siddharth Anand, who brought Salman and Shah Rukh together in Pathaan.
Salman Khan's next with Atlee
Atlee made a power-packed debut in Hindi cinema with the ox office winner 'Jawan' featuring Shah Rukh Khan in a double role last year.

Bringing the best of Indian cinema, Atlee has reportedly managed to pull a major casting coup. If reports are to be believed his next with star Salman Khan and Kamal Haasan. To add to the excitement, the two actors will be pitted against each other.
Rohit Shetty's cop universe film
After Salman's cameo in Singham Again, Rohit Shetty told India Today, "These are two IPs (intellectual properties) that have never met. If all goes well, and the audience likes what we make...This has never been done before, and it’s something new for everyone. Also, Chulbul is not in the universe, nor is Singham going there. It will be two IPs and two universes meeting for one individual film. This will be a standalone film, not where everyone comes together. It will definitely take a lot of time to make."
Bull
Salman Khan will reportedly be seen playing the role of Brigadier Farukh Bulsara in his next film titled Bull. The Bollywood superstar is undergoing rigorous physical training to look the part for this film.
Bull directed by Vishnu Varadhan, and produced by Dharma Productions, presents a retelling of Operation Cactus wherein the Indian Armed Forces, on November 3, 1988, assisted the Maldives in reclaiming control following a coup attempt led by businessman Abdullah Luthufi and the People’s Liberation Organisation of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE). The Indian forces efficiently neutralised the mercenaries and restored control to President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom’s government within hours.
