Salman Khan Starts 50-Day Monster Action Shoot for Eid 2027

Salman Khan has entered the most physically demanding stretch of Monster, the pan-India action entertainer directed by Vamshi Paidipally. Reports say the production has set up a studio in Mira Road, Mumbai, for a final 50-day schedule built around close-range combat. The actor is expected to shoot intense, physically taxing action sequences during this window as the film approaches its finish line.

For the audience, this is the schedule to watch. After the scale of the Goregaon leg, which included a purpose-built Afghan village and large crowd scenes, the Mira Road block will decide how the film’s hand-to-hand combat actually feels on screen. It is the difference between an action film that looks expensive and one that feels dangerous.

A 50-day push for realism

The upcoming schedule is not being designed as a VFX showcase. According to reports, the unit wants the action to feel more grounded, with the focus on direct hand-to-hand fights between Salman Khan and his opponents. For a star known for larger-than-life hero moments, that is a meaningful shift in texture; it suggests the film is chasing a more tactile, bruising kind of action rather than spectacle alone.

That realism did not arrive overnight. A dedicated 10-day combat training session was reportedly held in Mumbai in September, designed to help the actor and the stunt team execute the final fights with better precision and authenticity.

How Monster got here

The film has been moving through heavy production milestones since it started:

• April 2026: Monster goes on floors in Mumbai and begins shooting across elaborate sets.
• August 2026: The team wraps a six-week schedule in Goregaon that includes major action, large crowd scenes and a specially constructed Afghan village set.
• September 2026: A 10-day combat training session prepares the cast and crew for the final action leg.
• Final schedule: A 50-day Mira Road block focuses on close-range combat and hand-to-hand fights.

What the schedule signals

A 50-day action shoot is a serious commitment for any leading actor, and Salman Khan is also balancing his television reality commitments at the same time. The makers are reportedly targeting a November 2026 wrap for principal photography. In practical terms, that leaves post-production with a substantial runway before the planned Eid 2027 theatrical release, which is useful for a pan-India project with a large cast and action-heavy footage.

After months of elaborate sets and large-scale sequences, the final leg tells fans the production is entering the phase where the film’s action language gets locked. Monster stars Nayanthara, Jackie Shroff, Arvind Swamy, Rahul Dev, Ronit Roy and Seema Biswas, and is mounted as a pan-India entertainer. Vamshi Paidipally is prioritising physical performance as the film nears completion, and the final schedule should give the film a clearer practical action identity as the Eid 2027 release approaches.
