Salman Khan exits Karan Johar's film 'The Bull' due to repeated delays, prioritizing another project. Fans anticipate his upcoming collaboration with Sajid Nadiadwala and AR Murugadoss, slated for Eid 2025
In a surprising turn of events, Salman Khan has withdrawn himself from the much-anticipated Karan Johar-produced film 'The Bull'. The news comes after months of speculation and anticipation surrounding the reunion of Salman Khan and Karan Johar, set to work together after a hiatus of 25 years. The project, which was slated to be directed by Vishnuvardhan, had garnered significant attention in the entertainment industry.
Originally slated to commence production in November 2023, the film faced multiple delays, eventually pushing the start date to May. However, despite efforts to finalize the schedule, Salman Khan reportedly opted to prioritize another collaboration with Sajid Nadiadwala and AR Murugadoss, scheduled to begin in May 2024.
Sources close to the production revealed that Karan Johar had requested an extension from Salman Khan until July, citing uncertainties in finalizing the shoot timelines. However, Salman's commitment to his other project led him to convey his decision to withdraw from 'The Bull' politely.
The repeated delays in production seem to have led Salman Khan to attribute the setbacks to fate, prompting him to suggest moving on from the film. A bystander shared Salman's sentiment, quoting him as saying, "Destiny doesn’t want this film to happen, so let’s move on." Despite the setback, Karan Johar is reportedly exploring new ideas for a potential collaboration with Salman Khan in the future.
