A social media post surfaced online stating that Salman Khan and Anurag Kashyap might join hands for a "dark, grounded action cop thriller."

Salman Khan and Anurag Kashyap to collaborate on a project?

According to the reports, Bobby Deol, who worked on Anurag Kashyap's 'Bandar', was the one who played an important role in bringing the two of them on the same page.


A Reddit post stated, "Salman Khan and Anurag Kashyap may work together (which was kind of shocking considering what Abhinav has been saying to the media)."

As per the reports, the film will be an intense cop drama, full of action. However, official announcements from the production house or the actor or director have not been made as of now.

If reports are to be believed, Bobby Deol's equation with Salman Khan as well as Anurag Kashyap helped to bridge the gap between the two.

More about the feud

Earlier, Anurag Kashyap had talked about his professional equation and history with Salman Khan. The filmmaker once stated that he got fired from a film because he asked the actor to grow chest hair. He said, "I was asked to leave 'Tere Naam'."

Meanwhile, in an interview with SCREEN, the director of 'Dabangg', Abhinav Kashyap, expressed that Khan is never involved. He added, "He does a favor by turning up to work. He is the father of the star system in Bollywood… They are vindictive people."

Kashyap further added that they control the entire process. He expressed that if people don't agree with them, they will come after you.

On the work front, Salman Khan is currently working on 'Battle of Galwan', directed by Apoorva Lakhia. The film will hit theaters next year.
