Salman Khan is reportedly being considered for a police officer role in “Khalnayak Returns,” the sequel to Subhash Ghai’s 1993 film “Khalnayak,” which originally starred Sanjay Dutt. Multiple outlets say the makers are developing a character for Salman and that the casting decision is not final because the script is still in progress.
Subhash Ghai is also cited as saying it is too early to confirm anything, pointing to ongoing scripting. Coverage also situates the potential collaboration within the filmmakers’ relationship, with one outlet noting a past collaboration between Salman and Ghai. In parallel, several reports mention Salman’s upcoming film “Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace” as part of his current slate.
Overall, the outlets largely agree on the core development: a cop character is being written with Salman in mind for “Khalnayak Returns,” but confirmation awaits the finalized screenplay.
