Superstars on Atlee’s wish list

It is known that after Jawan (2023) with Shah Rukh Khan, director Atlee is looking to up the ante with his next. After his collaboration with Allu Arjun didn’t materialise, the filmmaker is in talks with Salman Khan for an action thriller. What makes the project interesting is that it is a two-hero subject and Atlee is keen on casting a south superstar along with Salman. Chatter is that the filmmaker has approached Kamal Haasan for the big-budget extravaganza. Popularly known as Ulganayagan, the legendary actor too is said to have given his nod to the subject. However, things will be finalised after Kamal and Salman hear the final screenplay, work on which is underway. Incidentally, a couple of weeks ago, it was being said that Atlee had discussed the concept with Rajinikanth. Considering the director is now in talks with Kamal, it appears that things didn’t pan out with Rajini.
