Trade insiders report that production house Sun Pictures has moved swiftly to fill the void, approaching Hrithik Roshan to take over the high-profile role opposite Tamil cinema’s legendary "Thalaivar," Rajinikanth. If finalized, the project would mark an iconic on-screen reunion for Roshan and Rajinikanth, who last shared screen space four decades ago as a child actor and leading man in the 1986 classic Bhagwaan Dada.
