However, in Jawan, the actor will be seen opposite Nayanthara and if recent reports are to be believed, south star Vijay Sethupathi has also joined the film.

As reported by Peeping Moon, Vijay Sethupathi will be playing the role of the antagonist in Jawan after Rana Daggubati backed out of the movie. The source cited by the entertainment portal also claimed that Sethupathi will begin shooting for the movie by the end of his month.

The Super Deluxe actor has altered his entire shooting diary to accommodate Jawan in between at SRK’s request," the source claimed.
