Samantha was first choice for Jawan

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan recently revealed his next film Jawan with director Atlee. Shah Rukh Khan's most awaited pan-India film will release on June 2, 2023. Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, the film will star Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, and Sunil Grover in the main roles. The film will be released in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and Kannada. There were reports that South actress Nayanthara was not the first choice to play the lead role alongside Shah Rukh Khan in the Jawan film. Yes, you read that right! A few months ago, there were rumors that Samantha Ruth Prabhu was approached for the film in 2019, but she had turned down the offer. According to Mid-Day's latest report, Samantha decided to opt out of Jawan as she was planning to go the family way with her actor-ex-husband Naga Chaitanya. Due to this, the makers of the film had to offer the role to Nayanthara.

What do you know? Another Deepika.😆

Nayanthara is a better actress than Samantha.

Pit jayega toh fans would be like.. achcha kiya nahin kiya.

Samanata got separated in October last year and before that their marriage was on rocks. Like more than one and half year Jawan is in pre-production announcement stage 😲

They have already started the shoot. It's just that it was not announced. This is from last year...

So that means samanatha was the first choice and Nayantara replaced her

We been knew. But she was not approached in 2019, but around 2020-21, when she stopped accepting new film offers. Shaakuntalam, the upcoming period saga with her in the lead, was supposed to be her last film, and it finished shooting in July 2021. Jawan was supposed to be shot after that, but she wanted to get pregnant by then. Unfortunately Nayanthara was signed and soon after Sam split up with her cheater ex-husband.

I liked her story on Instagram congratulating Atlee and Anirudh, she didn't mention Nayanthara and it wasn't a big deal but this PR article is such an insecure move from her, the lady keeps going low and low
