Nayanthara, the leading South star was all set to make her screen appearance alongside the Badshah of Bollywood, SRK, in Atlee’s Lion. The movie was halfway through, with SRK’s couple of shots done in Pune. However, the actor had to put it on hold, as to his son’s arrest in a drug case.

Reports now say that Nayanthara is on the way to quit the film, for she marked her dates for the film all through October and November, but the shooting couldn’t be done for Aryan Khan’s arrest. With this, Nayanthara has decided to quit the film, for she has other dates for other projects too, as stated in News 18.

With this, it’s been reported that the makers might approach, Samantha Akkineni for the role now.
