Casting for the much-discussed superhero film by directors Raj & DK, starring Salman Khan, has not yet begun. Reports suggesting Kareena Kapoor Khan is in advanced talks or has been approached for the female lead are unsubstantiated at this juncture. The official casting process is slated to commence in June, with no actors other than Salman Khan confirmed for the project.
Speculation around Kareena Kapoor Khan's potential involvement in the untitled superhero film has been circulating. Various reports indicated that she was the frontrunner for the female lead, with some suggesting Salman Khan himself had reached out to her to expedite discussions for the project. These claims positioned the film as a potential fifth collaboration between the two actors, and also hinted at a departure from their usual on-screen personas.

Further rumors posited that the project, helmed by the directors known for their distinctive storytelling in 'The Family Man' and 'Stree', would offer both Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor Khan roles outside their established comfort zones. The narrative was also described by some sources as a 'love story with a difference.'
However, recent updates contradict these earlier reports. A source indicated that while the film is indeed a collaboration between Salman Khan and Raj & DK, no discussions have taken place regarding the female lead. The casting call is expected in June.
Salman Khan's forthcoming projects also include a film with Chitrangada Singh. Previously, there were also reports of Kareena Kapoor Khan and Salman Khan being considered for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Bajirao Mastani,' a project that ultimately starred Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone.
