Salman and Atlee film lands in casting troubles?

Salman and Atlee film lands in casting troubles?

Salman Khan and Jawan director Atlee Kumar have announced their ambitious big actioner a year ago. The actor wanted to give a huge blockbuster comeback at the box office after a series of disasters. So, he announced collaborations with AR Murugadoss and Atlee for his next big films. 


While AR Murugadoss film, Sikandar, is nearing completion for Eid release, Atlee film is in development hell due to casting issues. Sun Pictures have come forward to produce the 500 crores budgeted film and they wanted South Indian Superstar to be part of the cast. Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan have been approached by Atlee. 


But both the stars did not agree to be part of it. Atlee decided to ask Telugu stars but none of them have dates to accommodate. Allu Arjun wants to do a solo starrer and he did not agree to be part of this one. Hence, the director turned to Hollywood and tried to rope in Will Smith, as per the reports. 


Sun Pictures did not want to associate with a film that doesn't have a South Superstar and hence, asked Atlee to re-visit his strategy, say reports. So, the movie is in casting troubles as off now. Salman and Atlee are persuading Sun Pictures and they might try to hire a big senior star hero from South Indian Languages, only. Let's wait for the official information regarding the same.
