Recently, there were reports that Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai will be making her comeback to the big screen through Mani Ratnam's film.

It was also reported that Telugu actors Mahesh Babu and Nagarjuna will be doing the lead roles in the film, touted to be a big budget action thriller flick.

But, latest buzz doing the rounds is that Aishwarya Rai has been replaced by Asin in the film. It is being said that Asin will play one of the female leads, while Shruti Haasan will be the other heroine. The "D Day" actress will reportedly be paired opposite Mahesh Babu.
If Asin is indeed part of the project, it will be her first time association with the popular director, who has several critically-acclaimed and commercially successful films to his credit. Similarly, Mahesh Babu and Shruti Haasan will be teaming up with the director for the first time in their film career.
While all these are just speculations, an official announcement from the makers is still awaited.
