Salman Khan Replaces Allu Arjun As Atlee's Hero!
Sun Pictures have come forward to produce this film and they are willing to pay huge sums to both Atlee as well as Salman Khan.
Atlee is one of the most sought-after directors in India right now. The Tamil filmmaker has created records with 'Jawan' and showcased Shah Rukh Khan in a mass avatar which made North Indians go crazy. He already scored blockbusters with Vijay in Tamil and there were strong reports that he is going to work with Allu Arjun next.
The project was almost confirmed but sources say that it got shelved as Geetha Arts is not ready to pay the hefty paycheque demanded by Atlee. Also, Allu Arjun not confirming anything has reportedly irked the 'Raja Rani' director and approached another big hero with a new idea. It is none other than Salman Khan. The superstar is currently working with AR Murugadoss and he instantly gave his nod to Atlee.
Sun Pictures have come forward to produce this film and they are willing to pay huge sums to both Atlee as well as Salman Khan. This project is expected to kickstart once Salman and Murugadoss' film wraps up. The 'Thupaki' director's film with Bhaijaan is named 'Sikander' and it is expected to hit the screens on Eid 2025. Salman is pinning a lot of hopes on this movie and it looks like he is putting all his trust in Tamil directors to make a strong comeback.
