According to Pinkvilla, this project has now been put on hold because of these scheduling issues.

An insider revealed to the outlet that the other leading actors considered for the film were Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth.

However, both actors have expressed their apologies to the film's makers due to their packed schedules.

"A6 with Salman Khan was always planned as a two-hero project, and the intent was to rope in two top names from the North and South to justify the mammoth budget of ₹650 crore," the tipster added.

The source further shared, "While Salman Khan okayed the film, Atlee and Sun Pictures were confident to rope in either Kamal Haasan or Rajinikanth for the film."

"The conversations with both the giants of Tamil Cinema continued for over 6 months, but things didn’t fall in place for multiple reasons," the insider shared.
