Before Annaatthe actress came on board to play the leading lady in the untitled action thriller, the makers had approached Samantha Ruth Prabhu to play the part. The actress turned down the role due to personal reasons.
Nayanthara leaving Atlee Kumar's film is a major blow for Shah Rukh Khan as their collaboration was major news and everyone was excited to watch them together in a film.
