Not Budget But Rajinikanth's Unavailability Put Salman Khan's Film With Director Atlee In Backburner?

Mumbai, March 5 - The rumours around director Atlee's big-budgeted film with superstar Salman Khan refuse to die except for the fact that it has been shelved, as per industry sources. The mega 2-hero film was supposed to set the box office on fire but not anymore. ## There have been many rumours regarding the shelving of Atlee's film with Salman. Since the movie was supposed to be a 2-hero epic, superstar Rajinikanth was reportedly in talks to come on board to join Salman. The temptation was also made to bring Kamal Haasan on board but nothing made to the cut.## Amid the reports that the film got shelved due to budget issues, the latest report by Pinkvilla revealed that it has been put on the back burner due to the unavailability of Rajinikanth because of the date issues. Kamal Haasan too wasn't sure about playing the second lead role, which, as per the report, was the role of the father of Salman's character.## Rajinikanth is currently shooting for Lokesh Kanagaraj's Coolie and he will next start Nelson's Jailer 2 soon, so was difficult to secure his dates for A6 in the immediate future. Since the project was supposed to have cost over 600 crores, the movie needed a big South superstar to justify this huge cost but things didn't fall in place.## Pinkvilla has denied the rumours of the project getting shelved due to budget. It is said that Salman Khan and Atlee were confident of getting either Rajini or Kamal Haasan to join the film which was also a demand of Sun Pictures and once that didn't happen, the duo decided to not proceed with the film for now and they might join hands in future for a different script. ## Meanwhile, A6 will now be made with superstar Allu Arjun who is fresh from the all-time blockbuster Pushpa 2 - The Rule. It will be produced by Sun Pictures and the shoot is likely to commence in the summer of 2025 for a grand Pan India release next year. ## Stay tuned...

It was a big win for the overall Indian film industry but at the same time, it became a mountain to climb for Hindi cinema. ## Well, two months later, one of the two aforementioned mighty records has been shattered by an original Hindi title named Chhaava, which was, interestingly, supposed to clash with Pushpa 2 originally before the better sense prevailed for the larger good. ## In a historical feat, Chhaava has outgrossed the lifetime total of Pushpa 2 in Maharashtra in just 15 days to reign supreme in the homeland. According to the tracked numbers, Chhaava has grossed 223+ crores in 15 days while Pushpa 2 had minted 216+ crores gross in its lifetime run in the state. ## This is an extraordinary achievement, something which was anticipated given the fact how dear the story of one of the greatest Maratha warriors Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj to the people of the state. The makers only needed to get a few things right before scoring the biggest reward and that's what exactly happened with positive reception from critics and audience. ## Stay tuned...
