Silambarasan steps back from AR Murugadoss film; 'Madharaasi' director eyes new hero

There have been speculations about the pairing of Silambarasan with director AR Murugadoss. A project involving the two individuals would definitely have attracted great interest from the Tamil movie audience, considering it would pair one of the industry's most popular faces with a director known for box office hits.

Reports indicate that Silambarasan may no longer be a part of the project.

Silambarasan's busy commitments lead to scheduling challenges

As reported by Nakkheeran, the actor's busy schedule might be the key factor that led to his decision. In fact, Silambarasan already has many other lined-up projects, making it tough to find time for AR Murugadoss' movie. The actor apparently decided to part ways with the film due to scheduling issues.

AR Murugadoss expected to cast a young actor

This exciting screenplay was reportedly tailored specifically for Silambarasan, so the newest development seems quite unexpected.

After Silambarasan departed from the film, it is now rumored that the filmmakers have started looking for new talent to take the leading position in the upcoming movie. The talk in the industry circles is that a rising star might be chosen for the leading role in the movie. At the moment, nothing concrete has been announced about the successor.

STR focuses on bigger upcoming projects

Reports also indicate that Silambarasan is concentrating on a major film expected to be mounted on a large scale. The project is said to require extensive planning and preparation before it can officially go on the floors. Certain approvals and pre-production processes are reportedly taking longer than expected, prompting the actor to keep his schedule free for the venture. This decision may upset a few movie fans, but some people think it will help Silambarasan focus completely on his future big-budget ventures.
