After ‘Trisha Illana Nayanthara’ and the upcoming venture ‘Enakku Innoru Per Irukku’, G V Prakash Kumar and Anandhi are coming together for the third time.

According to sources, the ‘Kayal’ girl has replaced Avika Gor in GVP’s new heroic venture ‘Kadavul Irukkan Kumaru’, directed by M Rajesh of ‘Oru Kal Oru Kannadi’ and ‘Boss Engira Baskaran’ fame.

According to sources, the director decided to replace Avika with Anandhi since he was not so happy with her performance. “Since Anandhi understands Tamil well and comic timing is needed for this script, she has been chosen for the task now,” sources added.

These apart, the music composer-turned-actor is busy with films such as ‘Bruce Lee’ and a yet untitled movie with Adhik Ravichandran of ‘Trisha Illana Nayanthara’ fame. His last week release ‘Pencil’ has fetched him good reviews.

Known for throwing bombshells, Ram Gopal Varma is at it again. The popular Bollywood director has said slain sandalwood smuggler Veerappan had planned to kidnap Superstar Rajinikanth.

RGV, who is getting ready for the release of his biopic on Veerappan (which is scheduled to hit the screens on May 27), has made this claim during his recent interview.

Also, he has posted on his microblogging page: “Veerappan used to think he is more famous than Rajnikanth and at one point he demanded a film to be made on him as a part of his Ransom.”

It may be recalled that Veerappan had kidnapped veteran Kannada actor Rajkumar, who was released after efforts by the governments of Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. Rajini had played a crucial role then.
