Kollywood grapevine is abuzz that Jeeva has been roped in to act under Mysskin’s direction in the latter’s key venture, ‘Mugamoodi,’ and for which the hero will be sporting a never-seen-before look.

Jeeva is currently busy with the shoot of ‘Nanban’ and it is said that after finishing this project under Shankar, he will be taking a short break and proceeding with ‘Mugamoodi.’

We had earlier informed you that Mysskin had first approached Suriya for ‘Mugamoodi,’ but it did not work out due to the high budgets, he later approached a few upcoming heroes and then producers didn’t favour him.

Now it looks like, producers have come forward for this as Jeeva has risen to a star status after delivering a blockbuster hit through ‘Ko.’

The movie deals with a superhero who fights away the dark sides of the society and those close to the director vouch that it will be a perfect family entertainer-cum-thriller.

The team will see funding by a leading corporate company in Mumbai, special effects by a Los Angeles company. What more can a Tamil cinema fan ask for?

The filming will start this August, after ‘Nanban’s completion, and will be a 2012-mid release…

We’ll get back to you shortly with more details on the cast and crew of the film.
