Salman Khan’s Monster is now charging into its final and most physically demanding stretch. After wrapping large-scale action portions, the actor is preparing for a 50-day schedule that will focus on close-quarter combat, signalling that Vamshi Paidipally’s action drama is moving decisively toward the finish line.
The latest shoot is set to take place at a studio in Mira Road, where the team is mounting hand-to-hand combat scenes designed to feel grounded rather than glossy. The action in this leg is being staged around close combat, with Salman Khan facing his opponents at close quarters. The makers are shaping these sequences with a raw and rustic tone.
Final Schedule Moves Monster Into Its Last Leg
The film began shooting in Mumbai in mid-April 2026 and has since moved through multiple phases. An early August schedule in Goregaon ran for six weeks and featured action set-pieces, crowd portions, and an Afghan village recreation. In late September 2026, the team also completed a 10-day Mumbai leg focused on combat training with Salman Khan’s body double.
Now, the production is entering its final lap. Salman Khan is balancing Bigg Boss 20 alongside the shoot, and the current schedule is expected to take the film toward its planned wrap by the end of November.
That timeline gives Monster a clear runway toward its planned 2027 release, with post-production expected to follow once principal photography is complete.
Cast, Crew And Film Details
Produced by Dil Raju under Sri Venkateswara Creations, Monster stars Salman Khan in the role of a Research and Analysis Wing agent. The cast also includes Nayanthara, Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swamy, Rahul Dev, Ronit Roy and Seema Biswas. Industry databases currently list the project under the working title SVC63, with Vamshi Paidipally attached as director and the film positioned as a Hindi action drama. Its release window is currently aligned with Eid 2027.
The film is being mounted as a pan-India entertainer, which makes its scale and action design central to its pitch. With the narrative built around a RAW operative, the emphasis on close combat suggests the makers are steering the action toward a tougher, more physical texture.
Salman Khan’s Recent And Upcoming Work
For Salman Khan, Monster extends an action-heavy phase in his filmography. His recent releases include Kisi Ka Bhai Kisi Ki Jaan and Tiger 3 in 2023, followed by cameo appearances in Singham Again and Baby John in 2024. In 2025, he headlined Sikandar, another big-screen action outing.
Looking ahead, Monster stands among his key confirmed theatrical projects. The film continues his current run of star-driven action titles, while also pairing him with a new ensemble led by Nayanthara, Jackie Shroff and Arvind Swamy under Vamshi Paidipally’s direction.
