Vishal not with Shruti again
- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,September 20 2014]
Vishal and Shruti have paired up for Poojai under Hari's direction, and the film is on the verge of completion. Recently, the rumours were that Vishal wanted Shruti in yet another of his produced films, which was to be directed by Suseendhran.
On the contrary to that, we hear that Lakshmi Menon, who was cast opposite him in 'Pandiya Naadu' has been brought onto the team instead of Shruti.' Pandiya Naadu' was also directed by Suseendran and the film created waves for its intense themes and the underwater lovemaking sequences which were shot well.
Vishal confirmed the news saying, “In Susee's new movie, the heroine has a limited screen space. Though Shruti was initially considered, having acted together in a commercial movie like Poojai, I felt it wouldn't do justice to her scope of acting. Lakshmi Menon's case is different Susee feels we are a winning combination. The film is set in a Madurai backdrop and the director insisted that the lead girl should understand Tamil. After considering many heroines, he finally took a call on Lakshmi.”
