After much shilly-shallying, the makers of Gautham Menon's tri-lingual romantic caper have announced the name of male lead in Telugu. The position remained vacant for good two weeks after Ram opted out of the project citing the likelihood of its shoot taking plenty time because it is being simultaneously made in three languages.

The result is that it has become Nani's advantage. The actor has been signed to be hero in the Telugu version, titled Nithya. Samantha is the female lead.

The producers kept all this under the wraps until the deal was finalised. Produced by RS Infotech, the film has music by AR Rehman.

Gautham Menon is understandably satisfied with the way Nani carried himself in Veppam (dubbed in Telugu as Sega). Ala Modalaindi proved that the stubble-faced actor can be at ease with romantic movies. It is hoped that Nithya will consolidate his position in the industry.
