Rashmika Mandanna, it was rumoured recently, would be romancing Tamil superstar Vijay in the Atlee-directed movie.  As it turned out, Nayanthara's name alone has been announced by the makers.

The 'Geetha Govindam' actress, on her part, has issued a statement clarifying that she is not at all a part of the big-ticket entertainer.  "A lot of you are asking if I am a part of Vijay sir's and Atlee sir's movie.  Since that's not happening this time, I hope I get to work with them soon.  I am so overwhelmed (like literally) to see such support from all of you. I will definitely make a debut there soon," she said.

After the failure of 'DevaDas' this year, she is doing 'Dear Comrade' opposite Vijay Deverakonda.  In Kannada, the 22-year-old diva is busy with two projects.  Her Tamil debut could happen in 2019.
