Now it is confirmed to be Nayathara to play the romantic interest opposite Simbu, who is currently working on Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal, alongside Udhayanidhi Stalin.
Nayanthara is said to be playing the role of Mylaa, a lovable girl next-door character in this romantic comedy.
Pandiraj confirms and said, “I felt that Nayanthara would be a perfect fit for the character and approached her through our cinematographer Balasubramaniem, who is working with her in Idhu Kathirvelan Kadhal. She liked the role but was reluctant to agree because Simbu was the lead. However, I convinced her by pointing out that exes like Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have worked together after breaking up. She understood my point of view and agreed.”
Simbu too was said to be initially sceptical about pairing up with her, as it might create unwanted rumours, but Pandiraj has convinced him too.
Pandiraj added, “But I told him that this would work. So, he told me that if I believed this will benefit the film, he was OK with it.”
