According to earlier buzz, Shah Rukh Khan-Atlee’s pan-India actioner flick has been tentatively named ‘Lion’.
SRK will be playing a double role in the movie. The cast also includes South Superstar Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani and Sunil Grover.
While Nayanthara has been locked as the female lead, recently rumours went rife that Samantha Ruth Prabhu was allegedly offered the role first.
However, Samantha reportedly turned down this SRK-starrer because she was planning on having a baby with Naga Chaitanya. And hence, the role fell in Nayanthara’s lap. There has been no official confirmation of these reports though.
Sadly, after 4 years of marriage, Samantha-Naga Chaitanya got divorced this year. They officially announced their separation on October 2. Samantha had also rubbished painful rumours of affairs and abortions in a stern Twitter post.
