Exit Lekha Washington, enter Asin: this is the latest news from the ‘Kettavan’ Unit!

At the muhurat of his latest film ‘Silambattam’, Silambarasan said that he had made many changes in ‘Kettavan’. He evaded the question when asked whether the heroine Lekha was shown the door.

Reliable sources, however, reveal that Silambarasan has decided to remove Lekha and rope in Asin in ‘Kettavan’.

It is known to everyone that Silambarasan is planning to re-start the shooting of ‘Kettavan’ only after finishing ‘Kaalai’ and ‘Silambaattam’. The original producers too have opted out of the project and it will be produced under the banner of V. Ravichandran’s Oscar Films.

When Oscar Ravichandran approached Vijaya T. Rajendhar for Simbu’s call-sheet for a new film, it appears that T.R. told him to take over ‘Kettavan’ instead of launching a new film with Simbu in the lead. It is said that Ravichandran had even agreed to and returned the Rs.3 crores of money that the previous producer of ‘Kettavan’ had spent.

Insiders disclose that Simbu’s sudden change of mind towards the VJ turned actor Lekha is the main reason for all the aforesaid changes. Add to this Silambarasan’s new found liking for Asin and you know what all the fuss is about. Feelers have been sent to Asin to persuade her to accept the offer.

One might think that Silambarasan is acting too big for his own comfort. But he can afford to do so, given his current market value. He is one of the leading saleable and bankable stars in the industry and has been the distributors’ darling for quite sometime now. It is said that his market value is next only to Vijay and Ajith. Business circles say that his Kaalai has fetched Rs. 18 crores.

So, Silambarasan enjoys the ‘luxury’ of changing the heroine after shooting more than 30 per cent of the movie. It might sound crazy but that is what show biz is all about!
