"Shankar desires to make it as a pan-Indian film in all aspects, like how he made Enthiran. Hence he wants a heroine who's popular within the south and the north. And he finds Asin because the right choice," say sources.
"There was initially an concept to cast Priyanka Chopra. But chances are high that bright for Asin now," they are saying. If this happens, this will likely be second time for Vikram and Asin to share the screen space together, after 'Maja' in 2005.
Writer duo Suba is alleged to be busy penning the Tamil version, while a well-liked Hindi writer will work at the Bollywood version. Remember Shankar was closely related to late ace writer Sujatha and delivered many hits in his company.
