SVC63 was announced earlier this year, with the makers aiming for a grand Eid 2027 release. The film is expected to be mounted on a large scale and will feature Nayanthara as the female lead. This project will mark her first on-screen collaboration with Salman Khan

Actor Salman Khan is currently busy shooting for his upcoming film with director Vamshi Paidipally, tentatively titled SVC63. While the project has already generated buzz among fans, fresh reports now suggest that the makers are in the process of finalising the film’s main antagonist.

According to a report by Mid-Day, the team is reportedly considering either Fahadh Faasil or Akshaye Khanna for the negative role in the action entertainer. The report quoted an insider claiming that the makers are looking for an actor who can strongly match Salman's screen presence.

As per the insider, both Fahadh and Akshaye bring very different styles and energies to the screen, which is why the team is taking its time before locking the final casting choice. The source further mentioned that Arvind Swamy was also being considered for the role at one point.

Reports suggest that the film’s next shooting schedule will take place in Manali, after which the team is expected to move to Hyderabad for another major leg of filming. The Hyderabad schedule will reportedly include scenes involving the antagonist, and the final casting decision is likely to be made before those portions are shot. However, the makers have not officially confirmed the reports yet.
