Nayantara has orchestrated a coup of sort.
Nayanthara, who appeared for an item number in Vijay's Sivakasi, will play his heroine in Kuruvi. She is now acting in a couple of films including Billa and Yaradi Nee Mohini.
Initially the role was set to go to Trisha. Apparently she pulled out due to call-sheet problems.
Trisha is the number one heroine in Tamil now. She is playing the female lead in Bheema and Goutham Menon's untitled film.
The new movie Kuruvi is directed by Dharani and produced by Chief Minister M Karunanidhi's grandson Udhayanidhi.
Dharani, Vijay and music composer Vidyasagar, who came together to create magic on screen with Ghilli, are back again for Kuruvi.
Vijay after completing the shooting for Azhagiya Tamil Magan and is expected to commence shooting for Kuruvi.
The film will hit the screens on 14 April, 2008.
