Salman Khan was recently speaking to a news daily where he was asked whether the ambitious project can ever be made. The actor who is also a producer reportedly also has an understanding of the business of cinema. The actor shared that for him to feature alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Aamir Khan, the budget of the film would need to be very high.
The actor went in further to explain the economics of a project of that scale. The actor shared that as the budget of the film will be higher, it will require a big number of screens to suffice and make healthy returns. Salman expressed that the film will require a screen count nearing to 20,000.
But currently, India has an estimated theatre count of 5000-6000 screens. Salman Khan believes that there is a need to come up with more screens to accommodate such a big film, maybe then it is a possibility.

The actor believes that though social media is nice, there is a need to curb it down. Salman Khan also expressed that social media has taken away the exclusivity of stardom and being a celebrity.
