#VD12 Delayed: Director Chooses To Do A Small Film Starring Younger Aishwarya Rai in 'Ponniyin Selvan'

After ‘Jersey’ and #VD12, Gowtam Tinnanuri is again looking to get Anirudh on board as the film's music composer

It's already known that Vijay Deverakonda is teaming up with Jersey director Gowtam Tinnanuri for his 12th film and the first look poster featuring the actor as a cop, with his face covered, has created quite the buzz. The film's pooja ceremony was also held on May 3rd this year in Hyderabad. However, now reports state that the film is delayed as Vijay turned his focus to Family Star.

It is said that since Vijay is caught up with his work on 'Family Star', #VD12 director has chose to do a small film with fresh faces in the meantime, before both of them get back together for the film's shoot.   

It is also reported that Gowtam Tinnanuri has cast Sara Arjun, actress who played younger version of Aishwarya Rai's character ‘Nandini’ in Mani Ratnam's Ponniyin Selvan, as the female lead in the film to be bankrolled by Sithara Entertainments.

Apparently, Anirudh Ravichander, who composed music for ‘Jersey’ and is composing for #VD12, has been roped as the composer for this untitled film too, which is speculated to be a high school romance drama.
