But the film's director R.S Durai Senthil Kumar said she was approached with a role.

"The team had approached her but since she couldn't allocate dates immediately, the idea was dropped. We are on the lookout for a suitable actress," Senthil Kumar told IANS.

For the first time in his career, Dhanush will be essaying dual roles in this film.

The film, which is slated to go on the floors next year, will be produced by Dhanush.

This will be the third time Dhanush will be producing Senthil Kumar's film after "Ethir Neechal" and "Kaaki Sattai".
