Ganesh
Venkatraman,
the
Abhiyum
Naanum
fame,
is
doing
the
Malayalam
film
Casanova,
in
the
second
lead.
Mohanlal
plays
the
lead
role
in
the
movie.
The
role
was
earlier
said
to
be
done
by
Arya
but
the
actor
became
too
busy
in
Tamil
that
he
was
dropped
at
the
last
moment.
Luckily
the
chance
went
to
Ganesh.
The
movie
has
Sameera
Reddy,
Lakshmi
Rai
and
Roma
as
heroines.
The
shooting
of
the
film
is
to
get
started
this
month
itself
in
Dubai.
Roshan
Andrews
is
the
director
of
the
flick.
He
had
a
Christmas
release
Ividum
Swargamaanu
with
Mohanlal
in
the
lead,
which
is
doing
well
in
theaters.
When
asked
about
the
role
Ganesh
says,
“
It
was
Lal
sir
who
called
me
to
do
Casanova,
and
after
I
heard
the
story
from
Roshan
Andrews
I
agreed
to
do
the
film.
Lal
sir
is
a
person
whom
I
consider
as
the
finest
actor
in
the
country.
My
character
has
lots
of
shades
but
it
is
not
negative.
The
underlying
message
of
Casanova
is
that
love
can
cure
crime." Ganesh
and
Mohanlal
was
earlier
seen
together
in
Unnaipol
Oruvan.
