Salman Khan has a lot of exciting projects in his kitty and a lot of surprises for his fans in the pipeline. But do you all remember the 2012 announced film, Sher Khan? This jungle adventure film Sher Khan starring the actor Kapil Sharma was to be directed by Khan’s brother Sohail Khan. This was touted to be a VFX-heavy action extravaganza which was postponed indefinitely due to VFX-related issues. But after so many years, Sohail has an update about this film and we are sure that all the Tiger 3 actor’s fans cannot keep their calm.

Sohail Khan on Sher Khan

Talking to News 18, Sohail Khan revealed that he is finally planning to take this Salman Khan-starrer film on the floors in 2025. Talking about why he did not work on this film, Sohail said, “That’s (VFX) one area where technology is growing by bounds. Every time we would finish the scripting of Sher Khan, I would watch another Marvel film, and that used to make me feel backdated in terms of what I’ve written and how I wanted the action to be. I knew that by the time the film comes out, it would look backdated.”
