The film will have the south mega star playing three roles and obviously there will be three leading ladies opposite him. From the day the project was announced, speculation has been rife as to who will bag the coveted parts.
Rekha was the first to be named. Deepika Padukone was too busy to commit to the project initially, but walked out of Housefull sequel to take out dates for Rajinikanth. For the third lady, several names were being touted, including the likes of Katrina Kaif and Asin.
But guess what? It’s Vidya Balan who’s learnt to have clinched the role.
The reason for the choice of actresses could be that all three are originally from the south and therefore will have no problem with dialogues.
The movie, to be directed by KS Ravi Kumar, will apparently have Rajini playing an old man, a middle-aged man, and a young man.
Even at 61, Rajini rocks.
