Even as all the talk about her cherubic cuteness in Nadodigal is yet to cease, the bubbly mallu lass Ananya has gotten herself into a controversy. It is reported that the actress, who had been signed for Arya’s production venture 'Padithurai', has now been replaced with another new actress.

While the exact reason for this is unknown, sources close to the crew state it is because the actress failed to turn up at the schedule shooting spot on the prescribed day. The film 'Padithurai' has new comer Abishek playing the lead, with Bala’s assistant Suga donning the director’s hat. Actor Arya is producing this flick in his production house, The Show People. Shooting for the film recently and the actress, who was supposed to shoot her portions in Tirunelveli, never turned up for the shooting spot. Due to this, Arya is said to have replaced her with debutant Santhini.
