SVC63: Salman Khan and Vamshi Paidipally's film goes on floors

Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, the Salman Khan and Nayanthara starrer has already begun shooting with a traditional pooja ceremony on April 18 in Mumbai.

While Maatrubhumi is yet to see the light of the day, Salman Khan has already started working on his next.

Directed by Vamshi Paidipally, the Salman Khan and Nayanthara starrer has already went on floors on April 18.

The shoot for the yet-untitled project, which is currently called SVC63, began with a traditional pooja ceremony in Mumbai.

Director Vamshi Paidipally took to his X account to announce that the film has begun shooting.

Sharing a photo of the clapboard of the film, Paidipally wrote, "It all begins today."

This is the first time Salman Khan and Nayanthara have come together for a film. SVC63 also marks a first-time collaboration between Salman and well-known Telugu director Vamshi, who is known for hits like Varisu and Maharshi.

It is also the first time that Salman is working with leading Telugu producer Dil Raju.

SVC63 will be significant not only because for Vamshi's Hindi debut but also because of Salman-Nayanthara's unusual pairing. It is yet to be seen how the duo's chemistry turns out on screen.

While not much is revealed about the film, one thing is for sure this high-octane action entertainer will see in Salman in a never-seen-before avatar.

The film is reportedly eyeing a 2027 release.

Meanwhile, Salman's another big release, Maatrubhumi, initially titled Battle of Galwaan, is stuck in a circle of reshoots amid regulatory hurdles.

The film was originally set at the backdrop of India-China clash but has now reportedly revamped its plot due to regulatory constraints. The story now revolves around family bonds and relationships, reports suggest.

Amid all the delays, rumours were rife that the film might get a direct-to-OTT release, however several reports suggest that the claims were baseless.

With all these hurdles and delays, the release date of the film is still uncertain. However, several reports suggest that the action drama might be eyeing an August 2026 release.
