Salman Khan is currently preparing for his upcoming film with 'Shershaah' director Vishnu Vardhan. Titled The Bull, the shoot of the film has been delayed. According to a recent report in Bollywood Hungama, the India-Maldives conflict has had an impact on the shoot of the film. The Bull is based on the famous 'Operation Cactus' conducted by the Indian Army to protect the Maldives from a terror attack. Khan plays the role of Farrok Bulsarra in the film and has already started his training to lose weight and get into the shape of an army officer. A closed source told the news portal, "Karan, Vishnu, and Salman need more time to decide on the exact route that the screenplay will take. They are reworking on certain elements of the script and will take the film on floors once the ugly relationship between the two countries settles down a bit. At the moment, the February schedule has been delayed by at-least 2 months."
