# Bollywood Superstars Collaborate with South Directors for Upcoming Films
In the past few years, South Indian cinema has gained immense popularity nationwide. Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam films have made a significant impact, leading many Bollywood superstars to collaborate with South Indian filmmakers. From Shah Rukh Khan’s blockbuster *Jawan* to Salman Khan’s upcoming *Sikandar*, South Indian directors have taken the Bollywood industry by storm. Now, reports suggest that Aamir Khan is also set to join hands with a leading South director for an exciting project.
## **Salman Khan’s Collaboration with AR Murugadoss**
Salman Khan is currently busy with *Sikandar*, directed by one of Tamil cinema’s biggest filmmakers, AR Murugadoss. Known for mega-hits like *Ghajini* and *Sarkar*, Murugadoss also directed the Bollywood version of *Ghajini* with Aamir Khan, marking Bollywood’s first-ever ₹100 crore movie. Now, his collaboration with Salman Khan is highly anticipated, with *Sikandar* set for an Eid 2024 release.
After *Sikandar*, Salman Khan was expected to work with director Atlee on *A6*, but things didn’t materialize. According to reports by *Peeping Moon*, Salman is meeting both Bollywood and South Indian directors for upcoming projects. Apart from *Sikandar*, he is also in talks for *Kick 2* and a film with Dharma Productions, though nothing has been finalized yet.
## **Shah Rukh Khan’s Interest in South Directors**
Shah Rukh Khan’s career-defining film *Jawan* was directed by South Indian filmmaker Atlee, grossing over ₹1000 crore worldwide. Now, SRK is keen on collaborating with South Indian directors again. The actor has repeatedly expressed his desire to star in larger-than-life action-packed films.
Recently, there were reports of *Pathaan* actor meeting *Pushpa 2* director Sukumar. While no official project has been confirmed, SRK has expressed his willingness to listen to potential scripts. Meanwhile, he is preparing for *King* and *Pathaan 2*. Sukumar, on the other hand, is busy with Ram Charan’s next film before moving on to *Pushpa 3*.
## **Aamir Khan’s Superhero Film with Lokesh Kanagaraj**
Aamir Khan is also venturing into collaborations with South Indian directors. The latest buzz suggests that he will play a special cameo in *Coolie*, starring Rajinikanth and directed by *Leo* filmmaker Lokesh Kanagaraj. Additionally, Aamir and Lokesh have reportedly discussed working together on a full-fledged film.
If finalized, this movie will be a superhero film inspired by the *Steel Claw* comic series. The story will revolve around a man who loses his hand in an accident and gets a prosthetic arm made of metal, using it to fight evil forces. If Aamir gives the green light, Lokesh may postpone *Kaithi 2* to work on this project after *Coolie*. However, Aamir will make his final decision after the release of his current film, *Sitaare Zameen Par*.
This superhero concept has been under discussion since 2022. At that time, it was rumored to involve actor Suriya with the working title *Maayavi*. Suriya even confirmed his interest in DC Comics-style superhero films, but the project did not take off. Now, with Aamir Khan potentially stepping in, the film may finally materialize.
## **South Directors Are Bollywood’s New Favorites**
It is clear that Bollywood superstars now trust South Indian filmmakers for big-scale movies. With Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, and Aamir Khan all looking at collaborations with South’s finest directors, moviegoers can expect high-quality entertainment in the coming years.
