The report quoted a source saying, “She has been very upset with Atlee because her role was chopped in the film. Also, Deepika’s character was elevated and Nayantara’s part was significantly sidelined. It was not a cameo at all. Jawan was almost made to look like an SRK-Deepika film. Nayanthara is the leading actor down south, and hence, she was not happy with the treatment of Jawan. And that can never well be the reason why we might not see her in a Bollywood project, at least not anytime soon.”
