Jawan with Atlee and Shah Rukh Khan just keeps getting better. After a number of names were associated with this big budget action drama, it seems yet another name to join the cast is Vijay Sethupathi, the man who has given some impressive performances in films like Vikram Vedha, Super Deluxe and the recent Vikram.
The South star will be seen in a pivotal role in the film and from what we hear, he was roped in after Rana Daggubati quit the project.
SRK and Atlee were keen on casting Vijay Sethupathi after Rana Daggubati backed out of the film, citing scheduling conflict due to his ill health.
SRK and Sethupathi share a great admiration for each other, and hence, when SRK himself offered Sethupathi this role in Jawan, he couldn’t refuse it.
The Super Deluxe actor has altered his entire shooting diary to accommodate Jawan in between at SRK’s request,” the source claimed.
If the reports are to be believed, the South actor will play an antagonist in the film and that he will be joining the rest of the crew for their shoot schedule in Chennai by the end of August.
