Dhanush's Polladhavan is no action flick. It is a mix of action, romance and entertainment, says director Vettrimaran.

A couple of decades ago, Rajnikanth played the title role in Polladhavan. It was an action-packed flick. But the new version would be totally different. It is about a youth and his aspirations. He turns violent after all his attempts to realize his dreams fail, says Vettrimaran.

Poonam Bajwa was initially cast as Dhanush's lady love. Later Kajal Agarwal replaced her. Now the buzz is that Divya aka 'Kuthu' Ramya has replaced her.

Asked why a replacement, he says, "Unfortunately all the heroines had one problem or another. We finally settled down for Divya. We though she would fit the role well. As expected, she has come up with a strong performance."
