Salman Khan trains for 3.5 hours rigorously on a daily basis for Karan Johar's upcoming film, 'The Bull'

2023 was a rather mixed bag of a year for superstar Salman Khan. On the one hand, he led the critically and commercially unsuccessful film Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan. Then, on the other hand, he returned as Tiger with Tiger 3, where the film did good business at the box office.

However, almost instantly, the audience is now excited to see the actor back on screen with something new and thanks to the many reports, the levels are piqued. Interestingly, the superstar hasn't had his fans wait for too long as he announced his next with Dharma Productions, titled Bull. The team kickstarted the mahurat shot in Mumbai on December 29, and the superstar is undergoing extensive physical prep, even training with paramilitary forces. 

As per the source, "Salman Khan to play Brigadier Farukh Bulsara, who led Operation Cactus in 1988 in the Maldives.
