A few details regarding Salman Khan and Karan Johar’s recent partnership have emerged. The Bull, a film, began shooting on December 29 in Mumbai with the mahurat shot. The film, which is being directed by Vishnu Vardhan of Shershaah fame, will have the support of Karan’s Dharma Productions. According to a press release, Salman will portray Brigadier Farukh Bulsara, the commander of Operation Cactus in the Maldives in 1988. Filming is scheduled to start in February, and he will play a paramilitary officer in the film.
The Bull will narrate the story of Operation Cactus, in which the Indian military helped the Maldives regain power on November 3, 1988, in response to a coup attempt spearheaded by businessman Abdullah Luthufi and the People’s Liberation Organization of Tamil Eelam (PLOTE). In a matter of hours, the Indian military effectively eliminated the mercenaries and gave President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom’s administration back control.
Exciting details of ‘The Bull’:
According to the press release, Salman trains for 3.5 hours each day in order to master the physical demands of the role. On December 27, 2023, Karan Johar wished Salman a happy 58th birthday. Karan wrote a long message on Instagram alongside a vintage photo of Salman from his 1998 feature film debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai.
Karan Johar wrote, “I was lost and confused at a party 25 years ago. I was approached by a huge movie star who asked me why I was standing by a corner. Also, I told him that I had approached a few actors about a role and had been graciously turned down. I am close to the superstar’s sister, so he kindly informed me that she had thought highly of my script and that I should meet with him the following day to tell him the story of the movie.”
He further added, “I owe a debt of gratitude to Alvira Khan and my father’s kindness in ensuring that I had the ideal Aman and SALMAN KHAN in my feature debut! These kinds of gestures and tales simply don’t occur anymore! Salman, happy birthday! I will always love and respect you so much. We won’t say anything more than that, but we will also have a story to tell again after 25 years.”
