UNEXPECTED: Sanjiv Venkat no longer a part of new serial Kizhankku Vaasal?

It was recently announced that popular Tamil actor Sanjiv Venkat was all set to make a com-back to the small screens with a brand new serial titled Kizhakku Vaasal. The serial's production was kick started recently and photos of the Pooja ceremony were circulated online. After a long break, fans were happy to finally have Sanjiv back on the small screens.

But in an unexpected turn of events, the actor is reportedly no longer a part of the team. While there are no official announcements about it, the report is making the headlines as fans are pretty upset to hear the news. There are no updates on who would replace Sanjiv in the upcoming series.

Sanjiv, who is a close friend of Thalapathy Vijay, made his acting debut by appearing in small roles in movies. Later, he also starred in several TV serials. He got his breakthrough after playing the lead role in the popular serial, Thirumadhi Selvam. Recently, he also appeared in the reality show, Bigg Boss, where he entered the house as a wildcard contestant.

Speaking of the show, it will feature Reshma of Poove Poochoodava fame as the female lead. Kizhakku Vaasal will also star an ensemble of other top actors including Radikaa Sarathkumar, who will play an important role, and Vijay's father and popular filmmaker SA Chandrasekar.

Its lead actress Reshma recently spoke about the show in an interview with The Times of India. In the interview, she said, "I am glad to be associated with such a huge star like Radikaa Sarathkumar and SA Chandrasekar. Each and every character in the serial is unique and definitely, the show will entertain the audience. I am very happy to be a part of the show."

The makers have not yet revealed which channel has acquired the rights to air the serial.
