Salman Khan is once again gearing up for a major Pan-India project, and this time, the actor is reportedly taking his action game to another level. The upcoming film, reportedly known as SVC 63, stars Salman alongside Nayanthara and is directed by Vamshi Paidipally and produced by Dil Raju.
The film has already created curiosity among fans, especially because it marks Salman Khan’s first collaboration with producer Dil Raju. Now, a new report about the actor performing his own stunts has added another layer of excitement—and concern.
Salman Khan wants to perform his own stunts
According to a Filmfare report, Salman Khan is expected to perform his own action sequences in the film instead of relying entirely on a body double.
The decision reportedly comes after an incident involving his body double, who suffered a heart attack while working on the project. Following the incident, the makers were forced to reconsider their plans for the action schedule and take additional precautions.
However, Salman is reportedly keen to remain personally involved in the action portions of the film. The actor wants the shooting to continue smoothly and does not want the project’s momentum to slow down.
A big Pan-India project for Salman
The film is being mounted on a large scale and is expected to be released across multiple Indian languages. The project is being directed by Vamshi Paidipally, known for films such as Maharshi and Varisu, while Dil Raju is backing the film.
Salman and Nayanthara coming together for the first time has already generated considerable interest among fans.
The movie has reportedly completed its first schedule in Mumbai, with the team now preparing for the next phase of filming.
An official announcement regarding the film’s final title is also expected soon.
But should Salman perform dangerous stunts himself?
While fans may be excited to see Salman doing his own action scenes, his decision has also raised an important question.
At this stage of his career, does Salman really need to perform every stunt himself?
Action stars often rely on highly trained stunt performers and body doubles for particularly dangerous sequences. Modern filmmaking also allows actors to appear in physically demanding scenes with the help of specialised teams, safety equipment and visual effects.
For an actor like Salman, whose screen presence is already enough to create excitement, taking unnecessary physical risks may not always be necessary.
Salman has nothing left to prove
Salman Khan has spent decades establishing himself as one of Bollywood’s biggest action stars. From Wanted and Dabangg to Tiger and Sultan, he has already created a huge legacy as a performer.
His fans know what he can do on screen.
That is why the question becomes even more interesting: Is Salman doing these stunts because he genuinely enjoys the action, or does he feel the need to prove that he is still the same Salman Khan?
At this point in his career, he arguably does not need to prove anything to his audience.
Safety should come first
There is also an important distinction between performing an action sequence and performing a genuinely dangerous stunt. With professional stunt coordinators, safety teams and body doubles available, filmmakers can create spectacular action without unnecessarily putting an actor at risk.
The reported incident involving the body double has already highlighted how unpredictable action shoots can be.
Therefore, if Salman does perform his own stunts, fans will naturally hope that the sequences are planned with the highest possible safety standards.
Salman Khan’s next big action phase
The upcoming film could become another major addition to Salman’s action-heavy filmography. His pairing with Nayanthara, Vamshi Paidipally’s direction and Dil Raju’s production have created strong expectations.
But the biggest conversation right now is not just about the film or its title. It is about Salman’s decision to take on his own action sequences.
Whether he is trying to prove that age cannot stop him or simply wants to give his fans the most authentic action experience possible, one thing is clear—Salman continues to have the confidence of a superstar who refuses to slow down.
But what do you think? At this stage of his career, should Salman Khan perform risky stunts himself, or should he leave the dangerous action to professional stunt doubles and focus on his performance?
