He is simultaneously shooting for Bigg Boss 14 as the host for the weekend episodes. Now, as his much-awaited actioner Tiger 3 is yet to go on floors, Salman is reportedly preparing to start shooting for Mahesh Manjrekar's Hindi remake of Marathi film Mulshi Pattern. The gangster drama will see Salman sharing the screen space with his brother-in-law Aayush Sharma for the very first time. Reportedly, the film, which was initially titled Guns Of North, has been renamed as Antim signifying the end of gangsters.

"Over the last few weeks, after several script meetings at his Panvel farmhouse during which various adaptations were considered, the team has locked a version which can justify Salman’s presence and he’s back in the picture. Now, his character is very important to the narrative. It will present him in a new avatar, more real, intense and raw, along with his usual herogiri," the source said.
