Pinkvilla had earlier reported that Salman Khan is shooting non stop for his upcoming gangster drama, the Mahesh Manjrekar directed Antim.

The team shot extensively in Pune, Mumbai, the outskirts of the city, Mahabaleshwar and also some chunk on sets at Filmcity, over a period of 60 days and it’s finally a wrap.
“This is easily among the fastest that Salman has completed a film’s shoot in last 10 years. Of the total 60 days, he has shot for approximately 30 to 35 days, and some patchwork of a couple of days still remains which will be done in the due course of time,” revealed a source close to the development. The gangster drama is said to be following a different story palette from other Salman action thrillers, as this one is more towards the raw, real and intense space.
“Aayush underwent a complete makeover for the film to get into a battle royale with Salman. With Antim, Mahesh has revisited his forte of making gangster drama’s, riding high on intensity,” the source added. With Antim getting into the post-production stage now, Salman is all gearing up to return to playing his iconic character, Tiger. “It’s going to be back-to-back shoots of Pathan and Tiger 3 for Salman. He has an extended cameo in the Shah Rukh Khan film, playing Tiger and has allotted 12 to 15 days to can his portions. On wrapping that up, he moves on to Tiger 3 from March,” the source added.
Having wrapped up Antim, and still a few days left for Pathan and Tiger 3, Salman will oversee the final edit of his Eid 2021 release, Radhe and chalk out the release plan of the film. He is also expected to lose some weight and get into a slimmer look for playing Tiger, which is said to be by far the biggest action film from Bollywood. The espionage is gearing up for a schedule from March, that would go on till September end at multiple locations across the globe. It marks his reunion with Katrina Kaif after having acted together in Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, Partner, Yuvraaj, Ek Tha Tiger, Tiger Zinda Hai and Bharat.
