ANDAR KI BAAT: Will R Madhavan Replace Vikram To Play Shivaji In Ajay Devgn’s Taanaji?
Early whispers emanating from industry corridors suggest that makers are rethinking their decision of zeroing in on Vikram to play Chhatrapati Shivaji, R Madhavan is being considered to step into the shoes of the Maratha warrior instead
A month ago, Ajay Devgn had taken to Twitter to unveil
the poster of Taanaji: The Unsung Warrior. “He fought for his People, his Soil
& his King Chhatrapati Shivaji. The unsung warrior of glorious Indian
history, Subedar Taanaji Malusare (sic),” he wrote alongside the poster of the
film.
While Ajay will essay the role of Subedar Taanaji
Malusare, we hear South actor Vikram was zeroed down to play Chhatrapati
Shivaji in the venture.

However, much before the film could go on floors, buzz
suggests that Vikram is no longer a part of the venture.
Reason? Well, early whispers emanating from the corridors
of Viacom 18 Motion Pictures and Ajay Devgn Films have reached SpotboyE.com and
going by them we bring to you that Vikram’s starry tantrums and constant
requests to make his role longer contributed to the makers rethinking their
decision.

It is now said that the makers are considering R Madhavan
to step into the shoes of the Maratha warrior. Yes, you read that right!
The hunky actor is in early talks and he might just
replace Vikram.

Ajay will be seen essaying the role of Subedar Taanaji
Malusare, who fought alongside Chatrapathi Shivaji Maharaj. He was one of
Shivaji's closest friends, hailing from the Malusare clan and the two had known
each other since childhood. According to legend, he received the summons while
at his son's wedding, and immediately left the festivities.
Official announcement is yet in the offing. Let’s see if
Madhavan indeed beats Vikram to the post or will we have another winner?
