One casting rumour lit up Bollywood chatter this week, but the truth behind Salman Khan’s film with Raj and DK is far less settled, and far more intriguing. Kareena Kapoor is not part of the project at this stage, and the makers have not yet zeroed in on any female lead.
That clarification instantly resets expectations around one of Salman’s most talked about upcoming films. The project has already generated strong curiosity because it brings the superstar together with Raj and DK for a superhero comedy, a space he has not explored in this form before. But for now, the excitement is still built around the idea of the film, not a locked ensemble.
Kareena Kapoor Rumour Ends As Casting Has Not Begun
An industry source clarified the situation bluntly: “Kareena has not even met Raj and DK or Salman Khan. The script is still being written, and the makers will proceed to casting only towards the end of June. Right now, the only actor locked for the film is Salman Khan, and there has been no conversation around the female lead.”
That update firmly shuts down the speculation around Kareena joining the film. The makers are focused on shaping the screenplay before moving into casting, and the next major decision on the film’s ensemble will come only after that process reaches its next stage.
Why This Film Has Salman Khan Fans Watching Closely
Even without a heroine in place yet, the film has already carved out a distinct identity in Salman’s lineup. The Raj and DK collaboration is being developed as a high concept superhero comedy, with Salman set to play a retired superhero. That premise alone gives the project a different energy from the star’s recent theatrical choices and explains why every update around it is drawing attention.
Salman Khan’S Recent And Upcoming Work
Salman was last seen in Sikandar in 2025, after Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan in 2023 and his special appearance in Baby John in 2024. His confirmed upcoming slate also includes Maatrubhumi: May War Rest in Peace and a special appearance in Raja Shivaji. What makes the Raj and DK film stand out is its unusual genre setup and its current stage of development. As of now, Salman remains the only confirmed casting on the project, with the female lead decision expected only once the script moves into the next phase.
