Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has a solid line-up of upcoming films, all of which are potential blockbusters in the making.
Salman fans have great reason to rejoice, not just because of the number of big films that he has signed, but because of four other reasons!
- One, almost all his films that will release in 2015 – 2016 are original scripts – and none are south Indian remakes, something that he has been accused of over-doing in recent times.
- Two, the other big accusation against him is that he has been repeating himself in similar films (typical masala). Well, that is history now. The genre of his upcoming movies varies greatly from one film to another.
- Three, Eid and Diwali in the next couple of years will belong to him.
- And finally, none of his upcoming films will be directed or produced by his brothers Arbaaz Khan and Sohail Khan — which is a positive, because both his films that have under-performed in recent times, Dabangg 2 (collected just 10 cr more than Dabangg) and Jai Ho (lowest grosser in 4 years), were directed by Arbaaz and Sohail respectively. As for the production house, Salman will be floating his own banner ‘Salman Khan Ventures’.
Salman Khan
Salman Khan’s list of confirmed upcoming movies in 2014, 2015 and 2016 below.
- KICK: directed by Sajid Nadiadwala co-starring Jacqueline Fernandes. Release date: July 25 2014 (Eid weekend). We would just like to add here that rumours of the film being postponed by a few days is untrue. Genre: Action.
- Bhajrangi Bhaijaan: This film reunites Salman with the director of his biggest blockbuster (Ek Tha Tiger) Kabir Khan and Bodyguard co-star Kareena Kapoor Khan. Bhajrangi Bhaijaan goes on floors in November this year and will release during Salman’s favourite weekend, EID. Expected release date: Friday, 17 July 2015. Genre: Action, romance
- Prem Ratan Dhan Payo: Another massive film directed by Sooraj R. Barjatya featuring Sonam Kapoor as the female lead. Confirmed for Diwali 2015. Expected release date: Thursday, 12 November 2015. Genre: Family drama
- Sultan: Even though Ali Abbas Zafar’s Sultan hasn’t been officially announced by Yash Raj Films, the film has been confirmed by both Salman and his manager. The release date hasn’t been announced yet, but it could either release after the IPL or during Eid in 2016.
- SHHUDDHI: This is yet another biggie that was just announced by Dharma Productions. The leading lady hasn’t been finalised yet, but Salman has replaced Hrithik Roshan. The film is expected to be a reincarnation tale. Release date: Diwali 2016.
- No Entry sequel: This film has been in the planning and casting stages for a long time now. It was delayed because Salman was busy with other films. Tentatively titled ‘No Entry Mein Entry’ the film will be directed by Anees Bazmee. Anil Kapoor and Fardeen Khan will continue to reprise their respective roles. Salman has allotted around 5 months for the film, which is expected to go on floors early next year. No release date has been announced, but it could release late 2015 or early 2016. Genre: Comedy.
- Mahesh Manjrekar film: Not much is known about this film. There were reports that it would go on floors in 2015 and Manjrekar has already started scouting for locations to shoot his film. He had also revealed to us a couple of months ago that it will be a typical Salman Khan film with entertainment value. However, in an interview earlier this year, he made an interesting statement. When asked if he would like to direct a film again “If they (stars) are ready to do my type of cinema, then I’d definitely work on them. At the end of the day, everything boils down to money and if the film doesn’t do well, then there’s no point. I don’t think I’m capable enough to make 100 crore films. The only ray of hope in the whole scenario is that films like Kahani (2012), Vicky Donor (2012) and Paan Singh Tomar (2012) are doing well.” So it’ll be interesting to see what Manjrekar has planned up for Salman. We are hoping for a Vaastav!
So that’s Salman’s epic line up of upcoming films for 2015 and 2016. By the time all the above mentioned films release, Salman would have turned 51. And if all goes according to plan, he would still be dominating the industry by the fall of 2016.
Although it would be incredibly hard to pick even THREE films out of all these – go ahead and take your pick. Which three films out of all confirmed films of Salman Khan are you waiting for?
Loading ...P.S: We recently reported that both Salman and Aamir are keen on working in the sequel to Andaz Apna Apna 2. Rajkumar Santoshi is scripting the film. If that happens, it will be bigger than all films mentioned above!
priyanka should be cast in shuddhi with salman they both make an awesome pair n rocked in mujhse shaaadi karoge n salaam e ishq
@vikram If you have guts give a reason why Kick will be flop. Simply barking without purpose or reason. Kick has received unbelievable response on youtube, buzz is unbelievable and at least 10 times the buzz of Jai Ho and you come here and bark “Kick will flop”. Its like saying “Avengers 2 will flop” or “X Men Apocalypse will flop”. Your barking wont affect Kick, it is a guaranteed blockbuster.
I can’t choose one in this so better il choose all films
M 100% sure…dat atleast in 2016 one clash wud surely happen….,wich film with clash with Salman 2016’s releases… I dont Know…but either Salman hav 2 Vacate either Eid or Diwali 2016… Cz da industry cant allow only 1 actor to enjoy all da Festive Weekend…either Salman changes da release date of at least one of da Said releases or he wil hav sure Face a Clash… My gut feeling says…dat SRK wil Target his Next Rohit shetty Movie in Diwali 2016…lets see
But da Problem.. 4r Srk wud be YRF & DHARMA…he wud not lyk 2 clash wid dem… As dey are his buddies.
But with dis Salman has done a Masterstroke by booking in advance da Festive weekends 4r da cuming years… But 2 sum extent it also shows his Desperation to get Safe date for upcoming releases as he is running after festivals and booking dem way before anyone even thinks of booking dem
@js still a non holiday off beat film mnik(75cr) did more than eid release massala film wanted(63cr), lol. N get ready salman fan to clash with srk film, result will be janeman v/s don..
IMO, Sooraj Barjatia is one of most talented director we have in india. To get a blockbuster with Shahid Kapoor is not easy task. My most awaited movie in recent time is prem ratan dhan payo. It is good that people are slowly refusing south indian remakes and produces also understand that. Shuddhi is looking good. Anyhow, all the best to salman khan.
he can give blocbuster just at holidays, like eid, diwali….. what’s great in it?
Great line-up . Each movie has something special in its own way. Waiting for all movies.
With this list, i just remember Akshay kumar’s upcoming movie list in 2008/2009. After huge 2007 he were looking invincible with huge upcoming movies with big production house.
Tashan with yrf
Singh is king
Chadni chowk to china with fox studio
Kambakth ishq with sajid nadiadwala
blue, 100 cr. budgeted movie with underwater
Action replayy
De dhana dhan
All looked like potential blockbuster but except sik, none worked. But i think, Salman get some lesson with the failure in his career and go through script not names and production houses.
@mustanir Any actor can release their film on Eid. There is no law saying only Salman can release on the date. They can clash with Salman. But they DONT. If they do their films will flop. Why? Because there is something great about Salman that people will choose his film instead of theirs. So never blame Salman for releasing films on Eid. He never stopped anyone from clashing with him.
@romance Then get ready for other another Srk flop like YLJK (45 lakhs) LOL
Wow Salman has best line up for 2 years and all are looking biggies. My most awaited films of him in order PRDP,Shuddhi,NEME,Sultan,Bajrangi.Best thing is he has different kind of films and none are remake as pointed by Indicine too. 9 days left for kick, get your kick ready. @hrehaan you are right that Salman has played safe but you should also know That EID is became big season only due to Salman 4 back to back huge success on EID, so while Srk targeted festive release from so long time you didn’t bothered. 1995,1997,1998,2000,2001,2004,2006,2007,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015(chritsmas-raees 100%sure). Isn’t he enjoyed most festive release over the years and most of films are either produced or distributed by Yrf there. So it most due to production house who blocking release dates too.
best line up among all superstars… but how will he do so many films in a span of 2 years!?
so both Eid,Dilwali 2015 and 2016 belongs to Sallu woooow.
anyway the movie iam waiting is No Enytry Mein Entry,Sultan and Shuddi.
Prdp my first choice eager to see salman as a simple guy “Prem” which he was in mpk,hahk and hssh.
wow cant pick any one, all of them are good. PRDP and Shhuddhi are probably the best. I am also waiting for no entry 2 which will be another epic comedy with the combo of Salman and anil. what a great lineup of movies.
Lets’s just hope our Bhaijaan wouldn’t get arrested, because of his criminal records :P (maximum sentenced 10 years)
I can choose #Prdp all the way then sultan then shiddhi.
bt i jst can’t wait fr prdp bring it soon.
@indicine plz tell us about Aamir’s next 2 years planning.
while JS, Jai Ho wasn’t non-holiday and exception was above 150 Cr… while just thik about MINK Critics Most pple loved it and think if it was release between 2015/16.. Be mature & be high-esteem thinker..
Why people saying that Salman book the festival, boss Salman didn’t producer does. Even if he does other also can.
Fan, Raees & Rohit Shetty next announces before Shhuddhi & Sultan they can.
Although I do not like salman Khan so much and I am an Akshay Kumar fan, but I am waiting for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo and the No Entry sequel. Others sound boring and like flops.
People can express their hatred. But deep inside their heart, they feel that this is best line ups of films that an actor can have.
Kick first. And then PRDP all the way. Just cant wait for another HAHK.
Festival is not a guarantee of hit films…, if it is big films like Ra.one, tmk etc even after having a solo release failed at bo.
After seeing the above list, SRK Lungi Khan will retire from film industry…
@sky… Bro…u said it right…but der is difference between 90’s 2 mid 20’s festival weekends..and da present festival weekends…in dose days highest grosser of da year were not everytym da festival weekends releases but see now what has happened…out of Top5 highest grosser of evry year… 4 are festival releases .and dat u can deny… Festival releases hardly matters in dose days…but now since Maximum revenue(70%) is earned within da Ist week and with heavy flow of releases evry week producers, A grade actors, target Festival weekends as huge investment is riding on dem…
Another thing bro…all kudos shud go 2 Salman 4r making EID as one of the most Lucrative season as well as 2 Aamir 4r making Christmas
Last but not da least… M not a SRK supporter… M a Fan of all actors…dont wanna enter into childish fan wars…but just believe dat if huge investments are riding on Salman..dan it applies on other actors also….I just said dat Out of all dis release Shhuddhi or Sultan wil face a Clash…gut feeling says SRK Next wit Rohit may clash wit any one of dem
now my bhai will show everyone how to do great project with out of the world acting… He get oscar for shuddhi, filmfare for prdp..
I think srk will release his movie fan next year..tab pata chal jayega salman ko k kiing srk hi hai
Will they allow film shoot in jail????
