Shruti
Hassan
was
approached
to
play
the
female
lead
in
Vishal
Krishna's
next
movie
directed
by
Suseenthiran.
As
the
actors
combo
flick
Poojai
is
creating
quite
a
buzz,
the
director
thought
of
roping
in
the
same
actors
for
his
next
flick.
But
the
actress
has
opted
out
of
the
flick
and
it
has
now
been
bagged
by
none
other
than
Lakshmi
Menon.
Suseenthiran
has
confirmed
that
his
first
choice
was
the
7aum
Arivu
actress
but
she
has
politely
turned
down
the
offer
as
her
dates
are
packed
till
April
2015.
This
forced
him
to
find
an
alternative
face
and
he
zeroed
in
on
Lakshmi
Menon.
He
had
earlier
directed
her
in
the
hit
movie
Pandiyanaadu,
which
also
starred
Vishal
Krishna
in
the
main
lead
role.
Vishal
Krishna
and
Lakshmi
Menon
have
worked
together
in
two
movies
(Pandiyanaadu
and
Naan
Sigappu
Manithan).
Their
chemistry
have
worked
well
and
this
is
the
strong
reason
why
Suseenthiran
chose
her
again.
There
have
been
reports
that
the
story
is
set
in
Madurai
like
their
earlier
movie
Pandiyanaadu.
But
the
director
has
said
that
he
is
still
writing
the
script
and
he
will
be
in
a
position
to
talk
about
it
once
he
completes
it.
The
other
details
about
the
cast
and
crew
are
yet
to
be
revealed.
