In a significant development in the Indian film industry, director Nag Ashwin is said to be reconsidering his original choice, Sai Pallavi, for the lead role in his highly anticipated woman-centric action drama.

With the Kalki 2 casting situation still uncertain, Ashwin is now reportedly prioritizing the progress of his female-led film, which had been simmering on the backburner for most of 2025. According to industry sources, the filmmaker has reopened discussions with Pallavi, who was widely regarded as his first choice for the role.
