He
has
completed
almost
a
decade
in
the
industry
and
yet
he
is
termed
as
a
newcomer,
he
is
none
other
than
R
Madhavan.
Following
his
super
success
with
the
film
3
Idiots,
Maddy
has
been
signed
for
Vashu
Bhagnani's
Faltu
alongside
Jackky,
Akshay
and
others.
Vashu
Bhagnani
said,
"Madhavan
has
said
yes
to
Faltu
and
will
be
in
the
film." There
was
also
a
buzz
that
Maddy
will
replace
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
film.
"I
am
making
it
clear
that
though
Madhavan
has
been
signed
for
the
film,
he
will
not
be
playing
the
role
that
was
to
be
played
by
Akshay.
Akki
still
remains
in
the
film;
in
fact
we
are
yet
to
finalize
2
to
3
more
actors.
Contrary
to
reports
that
have
come
earlier,
if
one
new
actor
is
selected
or
finalized
it
does
not
necessarily
mean
that
another
has
quit,"
states
Bhagnani.
He
further
adds,
"As
of
now,
we
are
in
the
final
stage
of
scripting
the
film,
and
within
the
next
couple
of
weeks,
we
will
begin
the
shoot
of
the
film."
Faltu
will
star
Jackky
Bhagnani
and
newcomer
Pooja
Chopra.
The
film
will
be
directed
by
Remo
D'Souza.
