Salman Khan’s film with Atlee remains on hold due to major setback?
Salman Khan’s much-anticipated collaboration with director Atlee is reportedly on hold.
The film has reportedly encountered a significant setback, with both Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth stepping away from the project. Following their departure, Atlee considered casting Hollywood star Will Smith instead.
According to a source speaking to Bollywood Hungama, “After the casting of Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth fell through, Atlee explored the possibility of bringing Will Smith on board. Salman Khan played a key role in connecting Atlee with Will Smith, and initial discussions were progressing positively. However, in a surprising turn, Sun Pictures insisted on casting a South Indian superstar alongside Salman Khan.”

The source further explained, “Once the talks with Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan fell apart, Sun Pictures made it clear that they were unwilling to be involved in a project without a prominent South star alongside Salman. As a result, they instructed Atlee to pause the project and reconsider the direction.”
