Amala Paul replacing Shruti Hassan in Dhanush's next

Amala Paul, who is overwhelmed by the response of her recently released film Deiva Thirumagal, is being considered for Dhanush's next film. If reports are to be believed, the former is likely to replace the latter in Aishwarya Dhanush's debut directorial outing.

Sources say that Shruti Hassan has opted out of upcoming Tamil film citing dates issues. She is fully busy with her Telugu project and to avoid date clash with Dhanush starrer film, the actress told Aishwarya that she could not be part of the film.

Meanwhile, Amala Paul, who has been praised for her acting abilities in Vikram's Deiva Thirumagal, has impressed Aishwarya and her hubby Dhanush. Hence, they have approached her for the female lead role in the yet to be titled movie.
