In April, mid-day reported that Salman Khan is set to headline a superhero film by filmmaker duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, backed by Mythri Movie Makers (A retiring superhero? April 20).The project will mark his first on-screen outing as a superhero. We have now learnt that Kareena Kapoor Khan is in advanced talks to play the female lead. While she has apparently not signed the dotted line yet, sources say she has “responded to the script enthusiastically” and “expressed keen interest verbally”. Salman is believed to have personally reached out to her, accelerating the discussion. If confirmed, this will mark their fifth collaboration on screen.
