For the past few months, a major studio has been trying to finalise the lead actor for the next installment of its well-known satire franchise. However, the casting process hasn’t been smooth.

Initially, an A-list star had agreed to come on board but later backed out, leaving the makers in a tough spot. Following that, the role was offered to several other established actors, but none seemed particularly interested in taking it up.

Now, the focus has shifted to a current box-office favourite. The studio is keen to bring him in, but there’s a major hurdle—his schedule is packed well into the next year. Meanwhile, the filmmakers are ready to roll, with the script, screenplay, and dialogues already in place, and are eager to begin shooting soon.

It remains to be seen whether the actor can adjust his dates or if the project will have to be delayed further.
