Though there is no official word, industry sources say that Ranbir Kapoor has opted out of the project and is tied up with Brahmastra and Luv Ranjan's next. Since Ranbir prefers to work on one project at a time, this could possibly the reason for him to drop out of the film.

It is said that Prabhas has read the script and has given his nod. The makers are slated to make the official announcement in the New Year.
