Samantha Will Replace Nayanthara In Atlee's Next Film With Shah Rukh Khan?

After the sensational arrest of star kid Aryan Khan by Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) in a drugs case, seems it has taken a toll not just on Aryan but also his superstar father Shah Rukh Khan.

Post the arrest of Aryan, Shah Rukh has been running from pillar to post, seeking legal help to get his 23-year-old son out of the confines of the prison. Amid all these events, reports have surfaced that Aryan Khan case has also affected Shah Rukh's ongoing projects.

As per reports, the actor, who had been shooting for Atlee's next film, opposite south Indian actress Nayanthara, had to leave the shoot midway to deal with his personal issues.

Meanwhile, Nayanthara who is finding it difficult to manage her schedules because of this, has reportedly decided to quit the much-anticipated pan-India project midway to give time to her other work and personal commitments.

Later, news also started surfacing that Samantha might join the crew as Nayan's replacement! But, if reports are anything to go by, then these are just rumours and Samantha will not be seen in this film.

There has been no confirmation regarding this news as yet! Also, a report by a national entertainment portal (Pinkvilla) states that Nayanthara is very much a part of the SRK-starrer and that she is looking forward to resuming the shoot soon.

However, it is to be recalled, that Samantha was Atlee's first choice for the role, but the actress had denied working in it earlier due to family plans with husband Naga Chaitanya, with whom she had recently announced a separation.
