Anushka has won the race to Vettaikaran, and will be the heroine opposite Illayathalapathy Vijay. And now, when it was time for the second lead lady to be finalized, once again a non-Kollywooder has landed the plum role. It’s none other than the ravishing Madalasa.

Rumours say she has a super sizzling number with Vijay in the movie, something you guys out there are bound to enjoy. This could very well mean the entry of a new actress into Tamil cinema. Madalasa is the latest Mumbai import to Tamil cinema; she already has landed a glam role in K.T. Kunjumon’s Kadhalukku Maranamillai with Meera Nandan in the lead.

Films dubbed from Telugu to Tamil have been doing well in the past, but during the last decade or so, no Telugu movie, in its dubbed version, could rake up the collections at the box office. Even Telugu films in which Trisha stars were failures.

The glory of the past has now returned with Arundhathi . The film, which has Anushka in the title role, has been released in all the big screens across Tamil Nadu and the industry sources say that it is garnering the collections like the good old days. Arundhathi, incidentally, is a supernatural thriller set in the rural background.
