Maniratnam got back his Midas touch with OK Kanmani` which became a blockbuster hit earlier this year and huge expectations surround the ace director`s next which supposedly had Karthi, Dulquer Salman, Nithya Menen and Keerthi Suresh as the lead players.

Only a few days back it was reported that Dulquer was out of the project with Nani signed as his replacement. Yesterday it was also officially confirmed that Keerthi Suresh opted out of the film citing the reason that her role was of lesser importance than that of Nithya.

Now comes the real shocker that Karthi is also out of this prestigious project as he could not allot the desired dates in December and that Dulquer is back in the reckoning for the role. Well it`s a Maniratnam film and we have to wait until the man himself is ready to spill the beans.
