Meanwhile, multiple reports suggest that Shah Rukh Khan has been roped in to play the main antagonist in the film. However, talking to Silverscreen, the official spokesperson for the movie denied these reports. But the speculation shows no sign of dying down, especially since Shah Rukh Khan and Atlee have recently been seen together a couple of times.
Last month, it was reported that a huge set of Gurugram police station was erected in Chennai’s Royapettah for the shooting. This, along with the fact that producer Archana Kalpathi, editor Ruben and director Atlee started following SRK on Twitter, led people to believe that the Bollywood star was part of the movie and would play a cop.
