Salman Khan's Monster Post Fuels Title Talk

Salman Khan shared photos with his father, Salim Khan, this week and called him "asli monster," and reports soon claimed he had given away the title of his next film. The makers have not announced anything, so here is what is reported and what is not.

The post

ABP Live reported on Oct. 15 that Salman posted pictures with Salim Khan, who the post says is 91, on Instagram. According to the Hindi report, the caption began "Howdy partner," said the 91-year-old was still "number one," and called him "the real monster." ABP says the post went viral and that reports then claimed it was a hint at the title of his upcoming film, known for now as SVC63. That translation is ours.

ABP is careful to add that no official announcement has been made. It credits the claim to a report by Lallantop, which we have not seen. A father-son post with the word monster in it is not, on its own, a title reveal.

The film behind the speculation

SVC63 is directed by Vamshi Paidipally and presented by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations. Pinkvilla reported in April that it is produced by Shirish and Kuldeep Rathore, co-produced by Rafi Kazi, with Nayanthara as the female lead and a grand Eid 2027 release planned. ABP says shooting is under way and the makers are preparing for the last schedule of 50 days, with action scenes. It lists Anil Kapoor, Arvind Swamy, Jackie Shroff, Rajpal Yadav, Abhimanyu Singh, Rahul Dev, Ronit Roy and Sagarika Ghatge as part of the cast. These details come from ABP's Hindi report and should be read as reported, not as an official cast announcement.

The superhero film

Pinkvilla also reported in April, citing sources, that Salman would start a superhero film with The Family Man creators Raj and DK from October 2026, produced by Atul Agnihotri, with Mythri Movie Makers in talks to join as the studio partner. The report says rumours of Samantha Ruth Prabhu being cast were untrue and the female lead was not final. We did not find an official confirmation of a start date this month, so we are treating the October timeline as a plan reported in April and not as a fact.

The wider Salman week

Salman is also hosting Bigg Boss 20, and he opened the final season of Koffee With Karan on Oct. 14, appearing with Karisma Kapoor. On that show, the Sunday Guardian reports, he said he would want children at some point. That is his own on-record remark and is reported in our Koffee piece.

What is likely and what is not

The Eid 2027 date for SVC63 is the most consistently reported fact. The title Monster is one outlet's second-hand claim. The superhero film's start is a six-month-old exclusive. It is reasonable to expect an official title announcement closer to release, though no date has been given.

What we could not confirm

We could not confirm that Monster is the title. We have no statement from Salman, the director or the producers. We could not confirm the cast list beyond ABP's report, and we could not confirm whether the Raj and DK film has started shooting. The Pinkvilla details are from an April report quoting unnamed sources. We have not seen the Lallantop report that ABP cites.
