Salman Khan's latest film, Sikandar, has received a disastrous response from audiences and critics, reflecting the film's poor pre-release buzz. Despite being one of Bollywood's biggest superstars, Salman is facing significant hurdles with continuous failures. However, he is now set to join hands with Telugu director Harish Shankar, who recently directed the remake of Bollywood film Raid, titled Mr. Bachchan, starring Raviteja. This collaboration could be a great opportunity for both Salman and Harish to make a comeback.

The film will be produced by Mythri Movie Makers and is expected to start production soon, as Harish Shankar is now free from his other commitments. After the release of Sikandar, Salman seems to be re-evaluating his choices and making bold moves. His collaboration with Harish Shankar could be an attempt to bring him back into the spotlight. Harish Shankar is known for his successful films in Telugu cinema, but his recent film Mr. Bachchan was a commercial and critical failure.

The production house backing the potential project between Salman Khan and Harish Shankar is known for its involvement in the Pushpa franchise. If this collaboration is confirmed, it could provide the much-needed boost to both Khan and Shankar's careers. While the rumored collaboration is still in the early stages, many are hopeful that it will mark a fresh start for Salman Khan. His recent struggles at the box office have raised questions about his future in the industry, but working with a South director like Harish Shankar could provide a much-needed change in direction.

If the film manages to click with audiences and critics alike, it could help Salman Khan break free from the shadow of Sikandar and return to his former glory. Harish Shankar's film Ustaad Bhagat Singh starring Pawan Kalyan has been officially announced but delayed multiple times due to various reasons. If Harish's Bollywood debut with Salman Khan proves successful, it could pave the way for future collaborations with other big stars.

Vijay\'s upcoming film, Jana Nayagan, has been making headlines for its highly anticipated release. However, the makers have decided to push the release date to 2026 Pongal, despite the film\'s shooting being almost complete. The reason behind this decision is reportedly the OTT deal, which has been sold for a record price. The two digital giants, Prime Video and Netflix, have already locked their slots for this year and are unable to afford a higher price for other films.\r\nThe OTT rights for Jana Nayagan have been sold to Prime Video for a sensational price of Rs 121 crore, which is a massive deal for the makers. This move is expected to benefit the film\'s theatrical and non-theatrical business. Considering both aspects, the makers have made a wise decision to move the release to Pongal 2026. This will enable the film to have a big theatrical business as well as a significant non-theatrical business.\r\nJana Nayagan is directed by H Vinoth and marks his first collaboration with Vijay. The film features Pooja Hegde, Mamitha Baiju, and Priyamani as female lead roles. The movie is an official remake of the Tollywood blockbuster \'Bhagavanth Kesari,\' which was written and directed by Anil Ravipudi. Jana Nayagan is expected to hit the screens on January 9, 2026, during the Pongal festival.\r\nThe film\'s production is currently underway, and the team is working at full speed to meet the new release date. With the OTT rights sold for a record price, the makers are confident that Jana Nayagan will be a massive success. Vijay\'s fans are eagerly waiting for the film\'s release, and the delay is expected to only increase the hype surrounding the movie.
