Laya was one of the heroines of Gajendra with Vijayakanth. She did not get any further films in Tamil. So, she shifted base to Malayalam, where she was paired opposite Mammooty in Thomanum Makkalum. It was a runaway hit. So, Vikram is now working on the Tamil remake of the film. Besides, Laya is also committed for another project with Mohanlal, which is titled Udayan.
