Nayanthara out Tamanna in

After Nayanthara decided to walk out of Lingusamy’s Paiyya, several names like Saranya Mohan, Vijayalakshmi and few others were tossed around.

It seems Karthi and his advisors were very clear that only an actress of the same stature like Nayanthara would come in as the replacement. Meanwhile the media wrote that Trisha is the new replacement which the actress denied.

But the latest buzz is that Lingusamy has pulled off a coup by casting Tamann who is the fastest rising glamour girl in Kollywood opposite Karthi in the film.

Tammu who just did not have any dates, as she is busy in Tamil and Telugu has gone out of her way to accommodate Paiyya, for which she is likely to do the first schedule from December end. The pretty young thing has two big releases lined up for Pongal 2009- Anandathandavam and Padikathavan. She also has two biggies Koncham Ishtam Koncham Kashtam in Telugu and Ayan in Tamil to be completed.

Then she has given confirmed dates to Moserbaer for their Kannan directed Raja Rani, the Tamil remake of Jab We Met. The shoot of the film will start in February middle once Bharath completes his Perarasu film Thirutani.

Tamanna is the flavour of Kollywood and is all set to be the star of 2009. She has the pick of younger hero’s like Surya, Dhanush, Bharath, Karthi, Siddharth (Boys) and a new boy Siddharth.
