Gautham-Surya
Indeed,
Gautham
Menon
was
on
the
verge
of
making
the
film
with
Surya.
And,
they
had
serious
talks
about
the
same.
But
for
some
reasons,
it
did
not
happen.
Ajith,
The
First
Choice
Rumour
say
that
Ajith
Kumar
was
the
first
choice
for
Thuppariyum
Anand.
In
2009,
they
had
met
and
discussed
about
the
project.
At
that
stage,
the
story
was
at
nasal
stage
and
Ajith
had
asked
to
return
with
bound
script.
Why
The
Project
Got
Delayed?
But
later,
Ajith
Kumar
and
Gautham
Menon
had
a
fall
out
and
the
director
decided
to
do
it
with
Surya.
However,
for
one
or
the
other
reasons,
the
project
did
not
see
any
progress.
Ajith
Readily
Agreed
When
Gautham
Menon
approached
Ajith
Kumar
with
the
bound
script
this
time,
the
actor
had
no
issues
and
readily
agreed
to
star
in
the
film.
Detective
Thriller
Thuppariyum
Anand
is
a
detective-thriller
that
will
be
made
like
a
Sherlock
Holmes
films.
Initially,
Gautham
Menon
wanted
to
make
in
the
backdrops
of
1930s
with
film
revolving
around
a
detective
investigating
series
of
murders
held
in
city
of
ancient
Chennai.
But
now,
it
is
not
sure.
Anushka
Meanwhile,
Gautham
Menon
has
approached
Anushka
Shetty
to
play
the
female
lead
role.
She
is
likely
to
take
up
the
project.
