IWMBuzz is back with another interesting scoop. We are told that a big-star film (whose daughter is also a part of the project) is likely to be pushed to next year and could be replaced by a comic entertainer headlined by the superstar’s arch-rival.
Those in the trade feel that there is still a lot of work left on the film, and both lead actors are currently not in a position to shoot.
The actor is reportedly nursing a shoulder injury, with several major sequences still left to film. Meanwhile, the leading lady is expected to go on maternity leave soon, which will almost certainly delay the film’s completion.
The project is also heavily dependent on VFX, meaning post-production will require considerable time. As a result, there is speculation that the superstar may eventually give up the coveted release date to the other actor.
Now, here’s the backstory. These two superstars have been arch-rivals for decades. They’ve rarely shared screen space and have often found themselves at loggerheads in the past. Only in recent years have things seemingly cooled down between them.
There was one infamous box-office clash that turned particularly ugly. The rivalry spilled beyond the films themselves, and the aftermath reportedly led to a leading lady walking away from the banner after the release of the film that sparked the showdown.
But this time, it’s not about a fight—it’s about a possible replacement. Whether that actually happens or the superstar pushes himself to complete this deeply personal film in time remains to be seen.
