Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has sent social media into a frenzy after taking to his Instagram Story to promote the teaser of the highly anticipated Malayalam film Patriot. Directed by the acclaimed Mahesh Narayanan, the film stars cinematic legends Mohanlal and Mammootty.
While Salman Khan’s post was a glowing endorsement of the Malayalam industry's "Big M's," fans and the media have immediately interpreted it as a cryptic confirmation of his own long-rumoured collaboration with Mahesh Narayanan.
The Post That Sparked the Frenzy
On Thursday, Salman Khan shared the title teaser of Patriot, which also features a stellar ensemble cast including Fahadh Faasil and Nayanthara. The Tiger 3 star captioned the post:
"Excited to share the Title Teaser of #PATRIOT featuring the Big M's of Indian Cinema together!”
Crucially, Salman Khan also tagged Mahesh Narayanan in the post. Given that Mahesh Narayanan is the director of the action-thriller Patriot, the promotional shout-out was interpreted by fans as more than just a gesture of goodwill—it was seen as an official hint that their collaboration is finally locked.
The Real Status: Hint, Not Confirmation
Despite the massive fan reaction on X (formerly Twitter), where hashtags related to Salman Khan and Mahesh Narayanan began trending, sources confirm that the actor has not yet made an official announcement regarding their project.
However, the speculation is well-founded:
- Advanced Talks: For months, reports have suggested that Salman Khan and the Malik director have held multiple meetings for a major period action-thriller.
- Genre Shift: The proposed film is reportedly a large-scale project set between the 1970s and 1990s, a genre shift that excites fans eager to see Salman explore new territory under a critically acclaimed director.
- Final Steps: Prior reports indicated that Salman Khan had given an in-principle approval to the film and was awaiting the full narration before signing the final contract.
Fans Go Wild: "Salman X Mahesh Narayanan Loading"
The timing of the post, directly after the teaser drop for a film directed by the very filmmaker Salman is negotiating with, caused immediate excitement.
One fan on X wrote, "Latest: Megastar Salman Khan is promoting #Patriot.. Looks like Mahesh Narayanan's next with Bhai is locked after #BattleofGalwan," referencing Salman's upcoming film. Another tweet simply stated, “Salman x #MaheshNarayanan loading?”
While the post may serve as a massive boost for Mahesh Narayanan's Patriot (set for a 2026 release), the industry is still waiting for the formal confirmation of the Bollywood-South collaboration. Until then, Salman Khan's social media activity is the biggest clue fans have to the superstar's highly anticipated next step.
