After all twists and turns, director Bala has finally settled for Arya to play the lead role in his Naan Kadavul.

Initially Ajith was supposed to act in the film and the director had even paid him a meaty sum as advance. At the last moment he pulled out from the project and several names started to do the rounds.

Finally Bala has settled down with Arya.

Arya, who has accepted Charan's Vattaram, would do Naan Kadavul once Vattaram is completed.

Bala has apparently agreed to commence shooting of his Naan Kadavul after Vattaram is through.

Bala, heaping praises on Arya, said, 'he would certainly fit the role and would be a movie to reckon with in his career.'

Bala has so far churned out Sethu, Nandha and Pithamagan.
