Actor Vishal will share the screen for the first time with Shriya. Buzz doing the rounds in Kollywood right now is that Vishal will pair with Shriya for his forthcoming film 'Thoranai'. The movie would be directed by a debutant Ayappan.

Vishal, one of the young sought-after heroes in Tamil Cinema, managed a lukewarm response for his recent release 'Satyam'. He is now keen to bounce back in style with his next film. After taking his own time and listening to various scripts, he has zeroed in on 'Thoranai'.

A commercial entertainer, the movie would go to the floors very soon. Shriya, who is acting with Sarath Kumar in 'Jaggubhai' is reportedly mighty keen to do well in Kollywood after her maiden Hollywood film. 'The Other End of the Line' bombed at the box office in USA. The film produced by Ashok Amritraj featured prominent Hollywood actors alongside Shriya.

'Thoranai' would be a bi-lingual film, made simultaneously in Tamil and Telugu.
