Although there has been no official confirmation yet, Shah Rukh Khan & South superstar Nayanthara are all set to share the screen space for the first time.
Directed by Tamil filmmaker Atlee Kumar, the action-packed pan-India movie has tentatively been titled ‘Lion’.
SRK-Atlee’s film also features Sanya Malhotra, Suni Grover, and Priyamani in pivotal roles. Reportedly, SRK plays a double role in this film.
Earlier last month, the movie had gone on floors, and pictures from the sets had also gone viral on social media.
Earlier today, rumours went rife that Nayanthara had allegedly quit the ‘Lion’ movie citing professional reasons amidst the ongoing cruise ship drugs bust case.
Reportedly, SRK has put shooting for his upcoming films on hold indefinitely after his son Aryan Khan was arrested in the said drugs case.
According to media reports, Nayanthara supposedly decided to step down after SRK couldn’t join the shoot because of his personal crisis. Reportedly, she had allotted October and the first half of November for Atlee’s film and the delay was allegedly hampering the shooting schedules of her upcoming movies.
However, as per the latest Pinkvilla report, the report turns out to be FALSE! Yes, Nayanthara is still a part of this highly-anticipated movie and the next schedule is expected to begin soon.
Denying such rumours, a source informed the portal- “All we can do is laugh about it…this is not true.”
Meanwhile, the makers of ‘Lion’ have been using SRK’s body double lately for long shots until the superstar resumes the shoot.
