But, soon afterwards, he went away to Telugu to direct the Telugu version of the film. The film flopped. That was when Kamalhasan offered him ‘Vetaiaadu Vilayaadu’. Goutham reportedly decided to concentrate on Kamal’s project. Asin was going to be the heroine of the film. Surya waited and waited. Finally, he announced that the project was going to be dumped.

Now that ‘Vettaiyaadu Vilayaadu’ is almost complete, Goutham is suddenly very much interested in reviving the shelved project. Asin isn’t going to be the heroine of this film. This is the second time that she got thrown out of a Surya film. Trisha is the heroine now.
