The
rumours
about
3
Idiots
remake
lead
actor
has
finally
come
to
an
end,
as
the
Gemini
Film
Circuit
has
announced
that
Vijay
will
play
the
lead
role
in
Shankar
directorial
film.
The
makers
have
also
made
it
official
that
the
title
is
Nanban.
The
makers
of
the
film
have
made
it
clear
that
Vijay
has
been
roped
in
and
he
will
play
the
role,
which
was
played
by
Aamir
Khan
in
the
original.
They
also
cleared
that
they
have
finalized
the
movie
title
as
Nanban
after
considering
Moovar
and
3
Rascals.
The
news
comes
as
a
surprise
to
many
as
the
actor
walked
out
in
December
2010
citing
date
issues.
To
its
trouble,
Mahesh
Babu,
who
gave
his
consent
to
act
in
Telugu
version,
also
pulled
out
in
the
last
minute
due
to
unknown
reasons.
Later,
it
was
revealed
that
the
movie
bosses
are
in
the
process
to
fill
the
lead
slot
with
Surya,
as
he
has
the
appeal
in
both
Tamil
and
Telugu
industries.
Sources
say
that
Surya"s
demands
and
remuneration
made
the
makers
to
drop
him.
Hence,
they
approached
Ilayathalapathy
Vijay
again.
The
latter,
who
has
postponed
his
political
plans
after
the
success
of
Kaavalan,
gave
nod
after
a
lengthy
discussion
with
the
director,
claims
a
source.
Now,
sources
close
to
production
house
say
that
Vijay
will
join
the
team
by
this
month
end.
However,
Shankar
has
started
the
shooting
from
yesterday.
Actress
Illeana
D"Cruz,
Jeeva,
Srikanth
and
Sathyaraj
have
joined
him
for
the
first
schedule.
