Hansika Motwani’s demand in Kollywood is soaring — the young actress has already bagged her second Tamil film even before her debut film is out. Hansika has been cast opposite Vijay in his next film Velayudham.
While confirming this to DC, the producer of the film Aascar Ravichandran, said, “Director Jeyam Raja felt that Hansika would be the best choice for the role that he had conceived. Recently we also completed a photo shoot with Vijay and Hansika. The other heroine in the film is Genelia.” He also clarified that contrary to speculation, this film is not a remake of the Telugu film Azad.
When asked about the buzz in the industry that Shah Rukh Khan is expected to launch the film, Aascar added, “He has agreed to come and we are just waiting for a confirmation. I will know the status in a couple of days.” Even though Harris Jayaraj has been approached to compose the music, industry insiders reveal that it could be Vijay Antony who is likely to be roped in.One more news that is doing rounds in Kollywood is that Velayudham’s inaugural pooja will be held in Chennai on May 27th at the Nehru Indoor Stadium. The event is said to be a grand-scale affair.
