Salman Khan and Vamshi Paidipally’s SVC63 Eyes Fahadh Faasil or Akshaye Khanna as Villain

Salman Khan’s upcoming film with director Vamshi Paidipally, currently called SVC63, is drawing attention as the team seeks a formidable antagonist to stand opposite the superstar. The project marks a significant crossover for Vamshi Paidipally after his successful foray into both Telugu and Tamil cinema.

With production underway in Mumbai, reports indicate that the makers are seriously considering acclaimed actors Fahadh Faasil and Akshaye Khanna for the main villain’s role. The creative team is keen on casting someone who can "match Salman Khan’s screen presence," according to industry buzz, and both actors are seen as strong contenders for such a pivotal character.

Joining the ensemble is Arvind Swamy, who is set for a major role, while Nayanthara has already begun filming as the female lead. Veteran comic Rajpal Yadav has been roped in for a supporting part. The project is being produced by Dil Raju, adding further weight to its pan-Indian appeal.

The film is set for a grand release during Eid 2027, which has already sparked excitement among fans on social media, with many speculating about the final villain choice. As the casting for the antagonist nears completion, audiences can expect more official updates in the coming months.
