As
per
the
latest
reports,
Rajisha

the
popular
Malayalam
actress,
has
been
roped
in
to
play
the
female
lead
in
the

Rajisha
Vijayan,
who
has
been
considered
as
one
of
the
finest
young
talents
of
Malayalam
cinema,
is
all
set
to
make
her
Tamil
debut
soon
with
Karnan,
the
Dhanush-Mari
Selvaraj

Reportedly,
the
actress
has
been

in
to
play
the
role
of
Madhimalar,
the
wife
of

However,
the
team
is
yet
to
make
an
official

in

Vijay
Sethupathi,
the
lead
actor
is
planning
to
lose
weight
to
essay
the
role
of
the
veteran
spinner
on
the
silver
screen.
The
actor,
who
is
completely
new
to
cricket,
is
also
getting
professional
training
in
spinning,
as
a
part
of
his
preparations
for
the
role.
The
much-awaited
project,
which
is
directed
by
MS
Bhoopathy,
is
expected
to
start
rolling
once
lead
actor
Vijay
Sethupathi
completes
his
pending
commitments.
The
makers
are
yet
to
finalise
the
rest
of
the
star
cast
of
the
movie.
But,
the
sources
suggest
that
a
few
real-life
cricketers
might
be
making
cameo
appearances
in
the
project.
The
Muttiah
Muralitharan
biopic
is
produced
by
the
popular
actor-producer
Rana
Daggubati
for
his
home
banner
Suresh
Productions,
in
association
with
Dar
