The Story in Brief
Jackie Shroff has joined the cast of Salman Khan and Nayanthara's upcoming action film, directed by Vamshi Paidipally, and has begun shooting in Mumbai, Bollywood Hungama reports. The veteran actor will play a central character with no negative shades, putting to rest speculation he would be the main antagonist.
Instead, multiple actors will play villains. Sources cited by Bollywood Hungama say Rahul Dev, Abhimanyu Singh, and Arvind Swamy are cast in antagonistic roles. The film, tentatively titled SVC63, will shoot in India until end-August, then move to Europe. It targets an Eid 2027 release. Earlier reports of Salman reducing his fee to Rs 70 crore were dismissed by producers Sri Venkateswara Creations.
The Indian Opinion
Every casting update is spun as a box-office guarantee, and this report is no different. The real detail is that Jackie is not the villain, which suggests the script has more than one antagonist. Salman's fee controversy was also dismissed, yet the Rs 70 crore figure keeps doing the rounds. Watch for official confirmation from the makers on full casting and release dates. That will settle whether the buzz is real or manufactured.
