The
pre-production
works
of
Shankar's
next
tentatively
titled
Therdal
seems
to
be
happening
in
a
rapid
pace.
The
latest
to
hear
about
the
upcoming
film
is
that
the
filmmaker
is
now
finalising
his
female
lead
for
the
film
based
on
anti-corruption.
Well,
Asin
Thottumkal
and
Priyanka
Chopra
are
on
Shankar's
wish
list.
The
director
is
very
particular
about
casting
an
actress,
who
have
base
in
Bollywood,
as
the
film
will
be
a
multilingual.
Considering
that
both
the
girls
have
worked
before
in
Tamil
films,
the
Endhiran
creator
has
short-listed
their
names.
It
may
be
recalled
about
Shankar
and
Asin
Thottumkal's
meeting
at
a
function
in
Mumbai,
where
they
had
a
lengthy
chat
at
an
event.
It
was
also
said
that
both
the
director
and
the
actress
expressed
their
sadness
on
missing
out
opportunities
to
work
with
each
other
on
earlier
occasions.
However,
Shankar
has
roped
in
writers
SuBa
(Suresh
and
Balakrishnan)
to
pen
the
screenplay,
which
throws
light
on
cash-for-vote
scam.
