The commencement of the shoot for Salman Khan's upcoming film, The Bull, has encountered a delay of a few months, attributed to the ongoing India-Maldives conflict. The movie, produced by Karan Johar and directed by Vishnu Varadhan, was initially set to begin shooting in February 2024. However, the first schedule has been postponed as Karan, Vishnu, and Salman take more time to finalize certain aspects of the screenplay. The trio are reportedly making adjustments to the script and plan to start filming once the diplomatic situation between the two countries stabilizes.
