A recent move by Salman Khan and director-producer Farhan Akhtar has sparked intense speculation in Balipara. The two stars have had several meetings over the past month. According to entertainment industry insiders, these two heavyweight stars have come together for a brand new and massive project.

This is the first time the duo is gearing up to bring a project to the big screen, which has naturally created curiosity. Again, as this meeting is in the middle of the 'Don 3' controversy, the question in the minds of many is that Salman will be seen in 'Don 3' instead of Ranveer? But sources say that there is a huge period action drama behind this meeting of the two stars.

According to sources, this historical background movie is planned to be made on a large scale. The initial concept and script of the movie was liked by Salman Khan. He expressed considerable interest in this project.

However, the talks are still at an early stage and no formal agreement or paperwork has been signed. Both sides are taking forward talks on this matter. The makers are thinking of bringing the story of this period drama to the big screen in two parts instead of limiting it to one episode.

More details about the project may be available later this year. According to reports in Balipara, Salman may join the work of this new film after completing the work of a Raj and DK film. The news of the meeting came at a time when there was a heated controversy surrounding actor Ranveer Singh's production of Farhan Akhtar's film 'Don 3'.

The Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has issued non-cooperation guidelines against Ranveer for allegedly pulling out of the film at the last moment. As a result, Ranveer Singh is somewhat cornered in the industry. In this complex situation, the news of discussion of Salman's period drama with Farhan has given birth to a new speculation in Bollywood.
