Shah Rukh Khan released the first teaser of his upcoming film ‘Jawan’ which is directed by Atlee and it has left the fans surprised. As per reports in Koi Moi, South actress Nayanthara is playing the leading lady in SRK starrer but she wasn’t the first choice for it. It was Samantha Ruth Prabhu. However, she opted out of the film as she was planning to start a family with her ex-husband Naga Chaitanya.
According to Mid-Day, Samantha was approached to play the leading lady opposite Shah Rukh Khan in 2019 but she declined the offer. She was reportedly planning to start a family with her ex-husband and actor Naga Chaitanya and hence she refused the offer of Atlee’s directorial.
The makers of the film were then left with no choice but to go ahead with Nayanthara who is a huge name in the South film industry. Meanwhile, Samantha and Naga Chaitanya announced their split last October for reasons still unknown.
