Most
of
you
may
not
even
be
aware
of
the
fact
that
Kalabhavan
Mani
was
approached
to
play
the
main
antagonist
in
Suriya's
upcoming
film
S3
(previously
known
as
'Singam
3').
Add
to
that
the
reason
behind
Mani's
heavy-hearted
decision
to
turn
down
the
offer
and
you
will
have
a
fair
idea
about
the
Papanasam
actor's
deteriorating
health,
before
his
demise.
Having
worked
with
him
in
Aaru
and
Vel,
Suriya
along
with
the
team
of
S3
had
reportedly
approached
Kalabhavan
Mani
to
offer
him
the
role
of
the
main
antagonist.
Unfortunately,
owing
to
his
health
issues,
the
versatile
actor
had
to
reject
the
offer
with
a
heavy
heart.
It
is
also
said
that
Suriya
tried
convincing
him
by
assuring
that
he
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
feature
in
high-octane
action
sequences,
but
to
no
avail.
Mani,
after
turning
down
the
offer,
had
also
requested
the
team
of
S3
not
to
divulge
anyone
that
they
had
approached
him
with
this
offer,
it
is
said.
