Following Shah Rukh Khan's 'Jawan,' Salman Khan's anticipated collaboration with Atlee has been canceled. A South Indian actor will now lead the film, alongside three female leads.
Salman Khan: The collaboration between superstar Salman Khan and popular South Indian director Atlee had been generating considerable buzz. Fans anticipated an extraordinary action film following Atlee's 'Jawan.' However, recent reports indicate that Salman Khan has been dropped from this big-budget project, with South Indian superstar Allu Arjun taking his place.
Allu Arjun Replaces Salman Khan
According to the latest reports, Allu Arjun will now play the lead role in Atlee's large-scale action film. Initially, plans included another South Indian superstar, but after failing to secure a commitment, producers decided to cast Allu Arjun. Interestingly, Allu Arjun is already working on a film with Atlee and will now star in this big-budget action-thriller.
Why Was Salman Khan Dropped?
Reports suggest Salman Khan's removal stems from the film's massive budget. Initially planned as a ₹600 crore mega-budget production, Sun Pictures, the production company, decided to reduce costs. This led to Allu Arjun replacing Salman Khan, given his immense popularity in the South Indian market.
Is the Film Based on Reincarnation?
Sources indicate Atlee's film will be an epic saga based on reincarnation, filled with action and drama. Further details about the plot remain undisclosed, but it promises to be a grand and spectacular project.
When Will Shooting Begin?
While Allu Arjun hasn't officially signed the film, he has reportedly agreed to work with Atlee. Pre-production is expected to commence between April and May 2025. However, no official shooting dates have been announced.
Three Female Leads
The film will feature three leading actresses, including one Bollywood actress. Reports suggest Janhvi Kapoor might be part of the cast. The names of the other two actresses remain undisclosed.
Fans Await Official Announcement
While Salman Khan's fans express disappointment, Allu Arjun's fans see this as a significant career opportunity for him. Now, the focus is on the official announcement of this project and the commencement of filming.
