Salman Khan SVC63 film production

Entities: Salman Khan · Vamshi Paidipally · Dil Raju · Nayanthara · Sri Venkateswara Creations

Overview

In late July 2026, the upcoming pan‑India project SVC63 generated fan excitement when production house Sri Venkateswara Creations posted a photo of lead actor Salman Khan hugging director Vamshi Paidipally on the director’s birthday. The image highlighted the collaboration between Bollywood star Khan, South Indian actress Nayanthara and award‑winning Telugu filmmaker Paidipally, and hinted at an Eid 2027 release.

A few days later, reports revealed that Khan agreed to work on the film for a reduced fee of Rs 70 crore, roughly a 60 % discount from his usual remuneration. The fee cut was attributed to his long‑time friend Rafi Kazi, a producer on the project. Additional casting details emerged, noting supporting roles for Anil Kapoor and Rajpal Yadav, with shooting underway in Mumbai. The film remains slated for an Eid 2027 launch, with Khan potentially receiving a profit share.

Together, the snapshots trace the film’s pre‑production buzz, the financial arrangement for its star, and the continued development of the Bollywood‑South Indian collaboration.
