As part of the schedule, Ayan is reportedly planningto film an action scene in which the Telugu superstar will fight a group of 40 people. Another report also teased a possible cameo by Shah Rukh Khan’s Pathaan.

A source told Mid-Day, “Ayan wanted Jr NTR’s solo scene to be designed in a way that it highlights the character’s raw power. With that brief, the action choreographer envisioned a fight that sees him take on a gang of 40. The team started shooting early at the set inside the studio, and will be shooting here for the next three days.” The report added that Hrithik will join the team later this week for a second action sequence featuring him and Tarak.
