Meena - The right choice for Kuselan !
News about Rajnikanth's Kuselan is hot in the industry. Another big question is, who is going to play the role of Pasupathi's wife in Kuchelan. Simran, Tabu were in the race. Simran was the first choice of the director and team, but due to her commitments and demands she was not able to join the film. Now, the latest news is, Meena the actress who did malayalam version will do the same role and she is going to work as Pasupathi's wife in the film. Meena's performance in Kadha Parayumbol was greatly appreciated by all. Meena played as heroine to Rajnikanth in films like Yajamaan, Veera, Muthu and as child artiste with Rajni in "Anbudan Rajnikanth". Let us hope Kuselan would be a come back film for this actress.

Actor Jeeva is doing different types of movies in this young age. After Ram, E and Rameshwaram it's time to change his image into an action hero. Thenavattu directed by V.V.

As of now, there is no official press release either from the director or producer. Last week Shankar met Rai and told one line narration of her role in the movie, Aishwarya already worked with director Shankar in "Jeans". So, it would be comfortable for her to do the film with director Shankar.

Ayngaran International will produce the new film of Vishnu and Yuvan Shankar Raja as music director. There is a negative hero character in the film along with Arya, Vishnu approached Arjun, Mohanlal etc, but there is no confirmed news about the artiste.
