After pairing up with Trisha in ‘Manmadhan Ambu’, Kamal Haasan has opted for the happening Anushka for his next film ‘Thalaivan Irukiran’.

As per the industry buzz, Kamal Haasan himself is going to direct the film besides providing the script for the flick. Anushka, who had a genuine super hit in Tamil by way of ‘Singam’ opposite Suriya last year is a hot favourite of all leading heroes in south Indian film industry.

This may be a life time offer for Anushka as she is looking for another solid film to cement her position in Kollywood. Next year is going to be a significant year for her as two eagerly awaited films ‘Vaanam’ with Silambarasan and ‘Deivamagan’ with Vikram will be released. Add to that this Kamal film, 2011 may well belong to Anushka among the heroines.
