Bollywood’s Bhaijaan, Salman Khan, has recently faced a major setback. Director Atlee Kumar has decided to cast South Indian superstar Allu Arjun in his upcoming multi-starrer film, which will also feature three leading actresses.

Why has this film been taken away from Salman Khan? According to a recent report, Salman will no longer be a part of Atlee’s upcoming project, and instead, Allu Arjun, best known for his role in Pushpa, will replace him. The action-packed film, reportedly based on the theme of reincarnation, will have a massive budget of INR 600 crore.

Initially, Atlee had planned to cast Salman Khan for the role. However, sources suggest that Atlee changed his mind after evaluating Salman’s recent film performances. The movie is expected to be a multi-starrer, with Sun Pictures also planning to finance the film.

Atlee had originally envisioned this project as a collaboration between Salman Khan and Rajinikanth. However, with his change in plans, Allu Arjun has now been cast, and Atlee is also reportedly scouting for another actor for a key role.

The film will feature three actresses, with Janhvi Kapoor rumored to be in the running for a lead role. Production is expected to start by the end of the year, with post-production work already underway. However, no official confirmation regarding the casting has been made yet.
