Sohail Khan confirms the revival of ‘Sher Khan’, starring Salman Khan, after a decade-long delay. Salman Khan, a prominent figure in Hindi cinema, is known for his consistent box office success, even with films that were initially considered failures. Speculation surrounds his Eid 2024 release, and reports suggest discussions between Salman Khan and Karan Johar for a Vishnu Vardhan film.

Sohail Khan explained the initial shelving of the film, citing advancements in VFX technology as a significant factor.

He acknowledged the challenge of balancing human-centric action with technology-driven sequences and expressed a desire to align their approach with current trends in filmmaking.
