Doesn’t look like he had much time for a honeymoon. Soon after he wed Geetanjali, director Selvaraghavan was back at work, completing his coming project Irandam Ulagam which features his brother Dhanush in the lead.
After he walked out of Kamal Haasan’s project Viswaroopam when creative differences cropped up, this filmmaker who dreams up unique concepts and out-of-the-box plots for all his films, is ready to start his next venture. Tollywood sources confirm that he has cast the ‘happening’ Anushka in his new film, and that it is probably Arya who will play the male lead. It’s come as a surprise to many, that despite turning down Tamil offers citing busy commitments in T’wood, sultry siren Anushka blithely agreed to do the Selva film, which would definitely consume nothing less than a year of her dates. “That’s the kind of clout Selva enjoys in Telugu as well as Tamil,” a close aide to the director reveals. He says the film has an offbeat theme and that Selva planned to complete it in a short span of time. The buzz is that producer PVP, who was supposed to produce Viswaroopam, has been roped in to produce this Selva project instead.
Earlier, when Selva was quizzed about Kamal retaining his title Viswar-oopam despite their having parted ways, the filmmaker grinned and said, “It was actually his title!” Though sources say that the dusky beauty goes all out to promote her films in T’town, she ‘bunks’ some promo events. Despite her no-show at promo events of her flicks here, there is a huge craze among Tamil producers to sign her. But her talent supercedes all else, it seems.
