Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

Salman Khan and Nayanthara's upcoming action film, produced by Dil Raju and directed by Vamshi Paidipally, has been tentatively titled Monster, according to a Filmfare report. The film, previously referred to as SVC63, marks the first collaboration between Khan and Paidipally and also pairs Khan with Nayanthara for the first time. Salman Khan is reportedly performing his own stunts after his body double suffered a heart attack. A source told Filmfare: 'Salman is completely hands-on right now. He doesn’t want the schedule to lose momentum.' The makers have brought on a Korean action team led by Sea Young Oh, known for his work on Kill and War, to design large-scale action sequences. 123telugu.com reports the film is aiming for an Eid 2027 release. An official title announcement from the makers is still awaited. Further details on the plot and release date are expected to be revealed later.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both 123telugu.com and Bollywood Hungama rely on the same Filmfare report for the Monster title and the body-double heart-attack detail, so the coverage is nearly identical wire-style reporting. The only meaningful difference: 123telugu.com adds the confirmed release window of Eid 2027, while Bollywood Hungama limits itself to the on-set Korea action-team angle. Neither outlet questions or contextualizes the body-double claim, which would ordinarily merit medical privacy caution. The measured read: the title leak is a promotional tactic, the real news is the Korean action team's involvement, which hints at a shift in scale. Watch for the official title confirmation and a teaser before mid-2026.
