Who bagged the role – Nanditha, Madhuri or Kajol?

Director Padmamagan’s offbeat film Ammuvaaghiya Naan with Parthiban and Bharathi in lead roles was well-received among movie buffs and critics. The talented director will soon be back in action with yet another film. For this forthcoming project, which is touted to be a children’s film, he has signed up child star Darsheel Safari of Taare Zameen Par fame.

Padmamagan had approached Nanditha Das, Madhuri Dixit and Kajol to play the lead role. While Madhuri and Kajol declined the offer due to call sheet issues, Nanditha is said to have accepted the offer.

Having elaborated about this venture to maestro Ilayaraja, the director is now awaiting a positive response from him. An official announcement is expected from the director shortly.
