Tamanna signed up for Jayam Ravi’s flick

Shaam’s popularity is on the rise ever since the Telugu film Kick hit the screens. The actor’s role in Kick – that of a police officer – received rave accolades. With the film’s success reaching the hilt, director Jayam Raja had decided to remake it in Tamil. While his brother, actor Jayam Ravi, has been signed up to play the lead role, the production house was negotiating with Shaam to take up the role he portrayed so beautifully in the Telugu version. The latest buzz is that Shaam had agreed to don the greasepaint once again and this time his role has been increased significantly to give him the mileage he deserves.

Tamanna has been roped in to play the female lead in the film, sources say.
