Amala Paul to replace Samantha in Vada Chennai?
After months of delay, the Dhanush-Vetrimaaran collaboration Vada Chennai began shooting recently.
The three-part ambitious project, based on a gangster's life, is believed to be inspired by a real life story and will be set in North Chennai.
Dhanush was to romance his Thanga Magan co-star Samantha in the film, but speculation is rife that Amala Paul is being considered for the part.
Samantha apparently backed out because of personal commitments. Amala previously worked with Dhanush in the super hit Velaiilla Pattadhari.
Santhosh Narayanan will compose the music while Dhanush will produce the film under the Wunderbar Films banner.
