Director Ali Abbas Zafar says he is chalking out a plan to reteam with Bollywood superstar Salman Khan for a big action film.

If all goes well, the potential project will mark the duo's fourth feature film together following blockbusters such as 바카라Sultan바카라 (2016), 바카라Tiger Zinda Hai바카라 (2017) and 바카라Bharat바카라 (2019).

Zafar said he has already started working on the script of the movie.

"Inshallah, Salman sir and I will come together to do a big-budget quintessential Indian entertainer. I want to do a big action film with him. It is something I am working on and I will share (the script) with him soon,바카라 the 40-year-old filmmaker told PTI in a Zoom interview.

Zafar may not have been able to direct the third part of the much-awaited action-thriller 바카라Tiger바카라 franchise, backed by Yash Raj Films (YRF), due to prior commitments but he is looking forward to the movie.

While Kabir Khan directed the first movie 바카라Ek Tha Tiger바카라 in 2012, Zafar stepped in for the second part, "Tiger Zinda Hai".

The threequel, scheduled to hit the screens on April 21, 2023, is directed by Maneesh Sharma of 바카라Fan바카라 and 바카라Band Baaja Baaraat바카라 fame.

바카라Adi (producer Aditya Chopra) is like an elder brother. When the third part of 바카라Tiger바카라 was happening I had some engagements that I was committed to. Our timelines couldn바카라t match. But I think Maneesh, who is taking the franchise forward, will do justice to it.

바카라Kabir Khan, me and now Maneesh, all of us brought our individuality to the films we made. I am looking forward to 바카라Tiger 3바카라. I think it will be very entertaining. I am happy,바카라 he added.

Zafar, who is awaiting the release of his Netflix film 바카라Jogi바카라 starring Diljit Dosanjh, has three projects in his kitty including Shahid Kapoor바카라s untitled action movie, 바카라Bade Miyan Chote Miyan바카라 led by Akshay Kumar and Tiger Shroff, and 바카라Super Soldier바카라 with Katrina Kaif.

The director said the shoot of Shahid's movie is complete and work is underway on the post production.

바카라Post production on Shahid바카라s film will be finished by the end of the year. We will announce the release date as we are reaching the finishing point,바카라 he said.

The makers will soon announce the casting of the female leads for 바카라Bade Miyan Chote Miyan바카라 with the shoot beginning from the first week of January, he added.

Zafar said the film only shares its name with the 1998 hit film 바카라Bade Miyan Chote Miyan바카라, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Govinda. The hit action comedy was directed by David Dhawan.

바카라It is a completely new film and has nothing to do with the old film. It is an action film set in the current time. Soon you will hear more news about the film as we are in the process of casting leading ladies, which will be done hopefully by the end of this month or early next month,바카라 he said.

Backed by Vashu Bhagnani, 바카라Bade Miyan Chote Miyan바카라 will be released next Christmas.

Speaking about 바카라Super Soldier바카라, Zafar said the film got delayed due to Kaif바카라s prior commitments.

"The schedule got delayed because of Katrina바카라s earlier commitments on 바카라Tiger 3바카라 and other stuff. Then she had the best thing in her life, she got married. Now, we have to find a way to do 바카라Super Soldier바카라. We are very much in touch and in sync. That film is aligned with Netflix," the director added.
