Atlee has a reason to smile.
Despite losing an important project with Allu Arjun, the director is far from disappointed. According to the recent reports, he will be working on a new project, with none other than Salman Khan!
There were rumors that Salman Khan could be teaming up with Atlee. However, nothing was official since Atlee was working upon the much awaited collaboration with Allu Arjun. However, now that Allu is out of the equation, Atlee can focus on the project with Salman Khan! However, the project might take off only when Salman Khan has completed the shooting for his much awaited comeback, ‘Sikandar’!
Atlee had made an impressive debut in Hindi cinema with Shahrukh Khan starrer ‘Jawan’. Despite a high budget of more than 370 crores, the film was a commercial success, managing to earn more than 1148 crores worldwide.
Atlee is now focusing on ‘Baby John’, which will be directed by Kalees. The movie is the official Hindi remake of Atlee’s own classic ‘Theri’, and stars Varun Dhawan in the lead role as a vigilante cop. The movie also stars Wamiqa Gabbi and Jackie Shroff in important roles. This movie is also the Hindi debut for actress Keerthy Suresh.
