Tamanna’s tall, dark hero

Vishal’s Theeradha Villayattu Pillai, which will be directed by Thiru, will commence very soon. However, the team is still in the process of selecting the heroines. Sources reveal that there would be three heroines in the film. While Nayathara was touted to be a strong contender for the role, it now looks like Tamanna will bag the role. It may be recalled that Tamanna went to sign up a project – Payya – after Nayan refused to star in it. The other heroine is said to be Reema Sen.

Meanwhile, there was a buzz that Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu could be signed up. But the actress is apparently not interested in south Indian films as she finds the language difficult to speak.

With Theeradha Villayattu Pillai, Tamanna’s status in Kollywood will go several notches up, industry sources say.
