Arya in or out?

  • IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,November 11 2006]

Director Bala is known for keeping details close to his heart. The acclaimed director, who has so far directed movies including Sethu, Nandha and Pithamagan, was all set to commence Naan Kadavul.

Initially, Bala was supposed to cast Ajith in the lead role. When everything was set for Naan Kadavul to go to floors, a section of the press carried reports that Bala has shown red card to Arya and has gone back to his lucky mascot Vikram, who is currently shooting for Bheema.

Though producer P L Thenappan brushed aside the reports as mere rumors, speculations were rife that Vikram would replace Arya.

Finally it was up to Bala to clear all confusion. The director on Friday put an end to all speculation. He categorically denied any idea to replace Arya.

'We have completed the photo shoot and everything is in store to commence shooting. The recent rain had played spoilsport on commencing the shooting'.

He said that Vikram met him on a personal basis.

Naan Kadavul will be shot in places like Kasi, he added.
