Albeit a few rumours were doing the rounds earlier regarding the female lead of ‘Vaalu’, nothing was confirmed. Now, it’s as good as official that Hansika Motwani is the female lead of this comedy caper.

Speaking exclusively to IndiaGlitz.com Simbu says, “Hansika will be cast opposite me in Vaalu. The film will be by Nic Arts and it’s a commercial entertainer loaded with comedy, I cannot divulge more details now”.

The movie will bring together the hit trio of STR, his dear pall VTV Ganesh and Santhanam.

It may be mentioned Simbu’s forthcoming ‘Vettai Mannan’ also features Hansika Motwani in a pivotal role, although not as his lady love.

Produced by Nic Arts, ‘Vaalu’ will be directed by newbie Vijay. Thaman S will be scoring the music. The film will go on floors shortly; a photo shoot featuring the lead will take place shortly.
