Tamil film director and young prodigy Vignesh Shivan has announced his new movie and has zeroed in on one Bollywood actress to play the prominent role. Kamal Haasan’s Raaj Kamal Films International will produce the movie and it will be Bollywood diva Janhvi Kapoor who will feature as female lead. Earlier, the makers of the movie mooted plans to bring Nayanthara as the female lead but dropped it after some disputes with the producer. According to reports, Raaj Kamal International has opted for Janhvi since Nayanthara’s remuneration is going beyond limits while the actress’s recent films plunged into disasters at Boxoffice. Janhvi is currently debuting in Telugu alongside Jr NTR in high-octane hopeful 'Devara'. 'Bawaal' was Janhvi’s latest outing in Bollywood which has opened to mixed reports.

Janhvi Kapoor is eyeing greener pastures in the south including the Malayalam industry and is hopeful to carry on the legacy left by her iconic mother, Sreedevi. Meanwhile, Nayanthara’s omission from the movie is sparking rumors only for the fact that it is her husband Vignesh who is directing it.
