The much-awaited partnership between Bollywood icon Salman Khan and renowned Tamil director Atlee Kumar has been postponed due to casting complications and logistical hurdles, with recent reports suggesting that the staggering budget of Rs 650 crore for the project may not be justifiable solely with Salman Khan onboard. The ambitious film, envisioned as a large-scale period epic, was originally planned to showcase Tamil legends Rajinikanth or Kamal Haasan sharing the screen with Khan. However, Atlee has now redirected his attention towards a fresh collaboration with Telugu superstar Allu Arjun, marking a shift in focus for the acclaimed filmmaker.
