Amid this, there were reports that the female lead Nayanthara, whose pairing with Shah Rukh Khan for the first time ever was being seen as one of the high points of Atlee’s film, has decided to quit. It was said that the reason is truly professional however. Sye Raa actress Nayanthara had kept October and first half of November for Atlees’s film but it couldn’t be shot during this time. And now, she has shoots for another projects lined up back to back which will make it difficult for her to find time for Atlee and Shah Rukh Khan, cited the report.

However, a new report on the same portal which reported about Nayanthara being replaced, now suggests that Nayanthara is very much a part of the film and the next schedule will kickstart soon.
