Simran is going to be Pasupathi’s pair in Kuselan

The days after the official announcement on Kuselan have been busy for director P Vasu with him zeroing on the other crew of the movie. It was already announced that Pasupathi would play the important role of Superstar’s friend in the movie. Simran is going to be Pasupathi’s pair in Kuselan, remake of Sreenivasan’s Malayalam superhit Katha Parayumbol.

The beautiful actress, who had been the top heroine for many years, is struggling to make a come back after her marriage and child birth. Now she has got a golden opportunity to prove her worth by acting in ‘Kuselan’, opposite Pasupathy. This will indeed be a very good re-entry for Simran as she was not getting right opportunities in Tamil after she decided to came a comeback post marriage and baby. It is worth recalling that Simran, with amazing dancing skills, was the first choice for Chandramukhi, which revolved around a dancer. Since she was on the family way, she could not take up the offer and the chance went to Jyothika, who came out with a top notch performance.

The buzz is that there will be one more heroine (not there in the Malayalam original), for the superstar. It is unlikely to be Nayanthara, as she has already done a full length heroine role in Chandramukhi and a special song sequence in Sivaji. Vasu wants a glamorous girl who is acceptable both in Tamil and Telugu, since it is being made as a bilingual, which clearly means a Bollywood actress is in the running.

Vasu said, “We have closed in on Simran, who missed the role in Chandramukhi. There will be another heroine in the film and I will come with the entire cast and crew list within a day or two. We will start shooting the film in February and release it in June, 2008.”

G. V. Prakash Kumar the nephew of veteran film composer A.R. Rahman will be composing the music for this movie Kuselan. The young 20 year old was introduced as a film composer in the critically acclaimed Tamil film Veyil, directed by Vasanthabalan. He has also composed music for Kireedom, Polladhavan, Oram Po, Kaalai.
