It is now said that the makers are yet to finalise the villain. The makers have set their eyes on a few top names in Tollywood and Bollywood. The talks are still happening and a formal announcement is expected to be made once the antagonist is finalised, say reports.
The role was offered to many leading stars in Tamil, including Arvind Swami and Prasanna, but none of them were in a position to accept the film for one or the other reason. As a result, the makers are still in a hunt.
However, Kabir Duhan Singh, who had played the villain’s role in Ajith’s previous film Vedalam, had openly expressed his wish to act with Thala again. But the makers seem to be keen to cast a fresh combination and have not offered the Tamil film to him.
The forthcoming film is an international-spy thriller, written and directed by Siruthai Siva and produced by Sathyajyothi Films. The first schedule of the film was completed earlier this month and the next schedule will commence in Hyderabad.
