Akshaye Khanna or Fahadh Faasil in Talks As Salman Nemesis

Salman Khan is getting ready for his next big film SVC63 with director Vamshi Paidipally. Nayanthara is the female lead and this is her first movie with Salman. Now the big buzz is about who will play the villain. As per reports, the makers are looking at two strong names, Akshaye Khanna and Fahadh Faasil. No final decision is made yet.

The team wants an actor who can match Salman’s screen presence in every scene. Both Akshaye and Fahadh have very different acting styles, so the team is taking time to pick the right one. Earlier, Arvind Swamy was also in talks for the role. The shoot is going on right now. The team is finishing the Manali schedule.

The next part will be in Hyderabad, and the main face off scenes between Salman and the villain will be shot there. So the makers want to lock the antagonist soon before the Hyderabad leg starts. Fahadh has played strong villain roles in Pushpa 1 and Maamannan. While Akshaye Khanna is known for his intense act in Drishyam 2 and Dhurandhar. The choice of villain is important because the script needs a powerful opponent for Salman.

SVC63 is the 63rd film from Producer Dil Raju's Sri Venkateswara Creations. This is the first time Salman is working with Vamshi Paidipally and Nayanthara. The film is planned as a big Eid 2027 release. Trade reports say the story has a lot of action and drama, and the villain role is very strong. That is why the makers are careful about casting. If Fahadh comes on board it will be his first direct Bollywood film with Salman. If Akshaye signs, fans will see him in a big mass role again.
