Now, according to a new report in Hindustan Times, makers have approached Nayanthara for the female lead opposite Suriya. Discussions initially revolved around having Disha Patani on board, but that plan seems to have changed, and now Nayanthara is in talks to join the project alongside Suriya.
The report also added that many other actors from both Bollywood and down South are being considered for the big scale project.
In fact, the director is also trying to getPriyanka Chopra on board but only if Nayanthara gives a nod. The aim is to make something stellar like Atlee’s ‘Jawan’, which includes stars from both the industries, so it is going to be a star-studded cast. The film will reportedly be shot on a massive scale with a huge budget.

The film ‘Karna’ is set to delve into the story of Mahabharata’s Karna, who is the son of the sun god Surya and Princess Kunti. The shooting for this mythological period drama is scheduled to commence early next year.
Produced by Excel Entertainment, the project is slated to be a multilingual pan-India film, presented in two parts. The film will reportedly go on floors in January 2024.
