Arya starring Allu Arjun was a blockbuster hit in Andhra Pradesh which won rave reviews. This film was publicized to be remade in Tamil with Gemini films buying the remake rights. For the role of Allu Arjun which was very vivacious, youthful and bubbly, Simbu and Dhanush were said to be in fray and it was later reported that the opportunity fell on Dhanush’s lap. Then when the issue of direction came in, Dhanush’s brother Selvaraghavan was alleged to be wielding the megaphone. However this again was changed and it was said that his cinematographer friend Arvind Krishna will be directing the film. But even this name was dropped and Balasekaran of Love Today was approached by Gemini Films who had booked him to direct the film. Eventually, as the unit is not in a position to commence work, this project has been dropped and Dhanush has gone to Vetrimaran’s camp to do a film.
