Manali done, now Mumbai is calling out to Salman Khan and Nayanthara. Sources have told mid-day that the two actors are set to kick off the next schedule of their yet-untitled film, directed by Vamshi Paidipally, on June 10 in the Maximum City.

What's on the agenda? To film critical action blocks that have been envisioned against the city's locations. "The team will shoot across multiple outdoor locations in and around Bandra because the sequences require the texture and scale of an urban setting. The sequences, featuring both leads, include chases, vehicle-based action, close-quarter combat, and crowd-heavy moments," revealed a source.

Producer Dil Raju and the director have also lined up a key set-piece involving Khan. An insider shared, "It's one of the film's major action pieces. It begins as a pursuit and gradually escalates into a confrontation."

This is Salman Khan's first collaboration with Nayanthara.

After Mumbai, the unit will head to Hyderabad in July for the next leg.
