In a shocking tiff, popular actor Kamal Haasan has apparently walked out of the much-awaited #Atlee6 project, which is also to star Bollywood superstar Salman Khan. Directed by Atlee, known for his back to back blockbusters Mersal and Jawan, the film was shaping up as a pan Indian Movie. However, Kamal Haasan’s sudden exit has sent fans surfing for the future of this big-ticket project.
The Story Behind Kamal Haasan’s Exit
When the news of the collaboration between Kamal Haasan, Salman Khan, and Atlee was released, the buzz created was quite massive. Kamal Haasan, being an actor held in very high regard in Indian cinema, had taken up a massive role within the film, and fans both from South and Bollywood cinema waited with bated breathes for any sort of update on it.
While the reasons for Kamal Haasan walking out of the project remain vague, creative differences well might have formed the prime factor. With his chock-full schedule of upcoming projects – including Indian 2 – it would have been quite impossible to sync up his dates for shoot of #Atlee6. Whatever be the reason, his exit from the project has left a major gap and fans are now wondering who will replace the legendary actor.
Impact on the #Atlee6 Project
#Atlee6, which was supposed to be one of the big-budget entertainers still has a pretty potent lineup with Salman Khan as lead. Salman Khan, after all, is an actor with a sky-high fan base across the country, and since he will propel stardom into this project, this move may change the course of the narrative if the movie were to continue or change the casting strategy.
Director Atlee has kept mum on Kamal’s exit but fans are on the lookout for any news about the timeless hero who might replace him.
As the film is being made, Salman Khan’s presence may have helped keep #Atlee6 much-needed, but the dearth of Kamal Haasan will certainly be sorely missed by fans all over who were very eager to see this special combination on screen.
