Fahadh
Faasil,
young
talented
actor
of
M'town
was
the
first
choice
for
the
upcoming
Mani
Ratnam
directed
flick,
Ok
Kanmani.
According
to
P
C
Sreeram,
the
cinematographer
of
the
movie,
Fahadh
Faasil
was
initially
considered
for
the
lead
role
in
the
movie.
But
the
actor
couldn't
take
up
the
project
due
to
his
further
commitments.
According
to
the
reports,
Fahadh's
lack
of
fluency
in
Tamil
language
was
also
a
reason
behind
the
actor's
decision
to
back
out
from
the
project.
Later,
the
offer
went
on
to
Telugu
actor
Ramcharan
Teja;
but
the
makers
felt
that
Ramcharan
doesn't
suits
the
character.
Finally,
Mani
Ratnam
decided
to
rope
in
Dulquer
Salmaan
for
the
role;
after
watching
the
actor's
movies.
Reports
suggest
that
Mani
Ratnam
is
highly
impressed
with
the
films
and
acting
skills
of
Fahadh
Faasil.
The
veteran
director,
who
always
follows
the
Malayalam
movies
and
actor,
was
extremely
keen
to
cast
Fahadh
in
his
movies.
Mani
Ratnam
has
always
been
vocal
about
his
admiration
for
the
Malayalam
actors,
including
Mammootty,
Mohanlal,
Prithviraj
etc.
Interestingly,
the
veteran
filmmaker
directed
his
second
movie
in
Malayalam.
The
movie,
which
was
titled
as
Unaru,
had
Mohanlal
and
Sukumaran
in
the
central
roles.
The
fans
and
media
are
eagerly
waiting
for
a
project,
which
will
mark
the
association
of
Mani
Ratnam
and
Fahadh
Faasil.
