After the release of Endhiran, Shankar will start work for his next movie 'Rascal'. This is a remake of the hugely successful Hindi movie 3 Idiots which was directed by Raju Hirani. It was earlier confirmed that Vijay, STR and Madhavan will substitute the roles of Aamir Khan, Sharman Joshi and Madhavan himself. But since STR and Madhavan pulled out, the scout was on to find suitable replacements.

Now we hear that Shankar has finalized actress Ileana as the heroine of the movie. Ileana earlier starred in the 2006 film Kedi alongside Ravi Krishna. It is already confirmed that Harris Jeyaraj will be scoring the music and Manoj Paramahamsa of VTV fame will be wielding the camera for Rascal. Watch this space for more updates.
