After the super success of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' (2015), Kabir Khan is said to be ready with his next project and it will star none other than Salman Khan. The yet-to-be-titled film would be their third collaboration - the filmmaker-actor duo had teamed up for the first time for 'Ek Tha Tiger' (2012).
