Though the news that Shahrukh Khan has bagged the lead role in the Hindi version Kuselan has now become stale, it is interesting to note that the actor will be shooting in those locations that Rajini had been filming his scenes. Titled Billu Bar Bar, this film is intended to be shot in Pollachi and Karaikal, which incidentally are the same locations chosen by the Kuselan crew.
While Shahrukh plays Rajini’s role, Irfan Khan has been signed up for Pasupathy’s character. Priyadarshan is donning the director’s cap. According to inside sources, cameraman Manikandan, who had worked with the King Khan in Om Shanti Om will wield the camera for this venture too.
