MUMBAI: Filmmaker-actor Atul Agnihotri, who along with his brother-in-law Salman Khan gave a stupendous hit in Bodyguard, is all set to again team up with the actor for his proposed upcoming film said to be an action film.

Said Atul in confirmation, "I am doing a movie with Salman. It is completely an original script...and not a remake. It is in a scripting stage and I am actively involved in the project." "The work is under progress. It is difficult to talk more about it as we are still working on it," he added.

Considering that most of Salman‘s films like Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard, Ek Tha Tiger and Dabangg 2 have revolved around larger-than-life-action and were all blockbusters, the producer is also not shying away from taking the benefit of this genre.
 

If all goes well, Atul intends to begin work on this project from next year.

It may be remembered that Atul made his debut as a director with Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha made in 2004 that featured Salman Khan, Preity Zinta and Bhoomika Chawla. But the film didn‘t do well. Undeterred by this, he directed and even turned producer with Hello in 2008, a film based on the novel One Night at a Call Centre in which Salman had a cameo.

Atul returned to production with Salman-Kareena Kapoor starrer action-romantic film Bodyguard in 2011 that went on to become a huge hit at the box office.
